Thierry Henry won seven trophies with Arsenal, he was the key player of one of the best teams in Premier League history. He left the expectations really high for any new winger that arrives to Arsenal and the fans are still waiting for a new star to develop like him.

The last huge signing of Arsenal was paid $100 million dollars and he was expected to be a star, but he failed. We are talking about Nicolas Pepé. Unai Emery and Mikel Arteta have struggled to get any real sort of consistent form out of Pepe. What is happening to the player?

Arteta’s job is in danger so he would not rely on such an irregular player to perform in important matches. The former start and Henry’s teammate Robert Pires said that Pepe’s game did not suit the intensity and demands of the Premier League and that’s the main reason of the failure.

Did Arsenal really spent so much money on a player that cannot adapt to English football? Apparently, yes. He arrived as a promise of becoming the new Henry but now is about to be axe from the squad due to the lack of good performances.
