On an evening (Wednesday, August 6) when Viktor Gyökeres was meant to announce himself as the solution to all of Mikel Arteta’s problems, instead it was a figure from Arsenal’s past who stole the show. At £72m -£8m more than they may end up paying for the Sweden striker –, Nicolas Pépé was an expensive Arsenal signing, a few months before Arteta replaced Unai Emery in 2019.
