Arsenal already have a starting XI that leaves Nicolas Pepe in the cold. Him and Newcastle could be a perfect match.
Pre-season is supposed to be a time for experimentation, with results meaning little and starting XIs meaning even less. But Arsenal are having no truck with such traditions and have instead utterly nailed down their starting XI in convincing wins over Chelsea and Sevilla that leave it inconceivable that the same team will not start against Crystal Palace on Friday night.
But all this curious stability and un-Arsenal-like certainty inevitably leaves some players on the outside looking in, and one of those players is Nicolas Pepe. He has a close-to-zero chance of starting at Selhurst Park. Nine months after starting four of Arsenal’s first five Premier League games, he played barely 50 minutes in their final five. Arsenal had moved on from Pepe.
They can offer at least the illusion of this not being a step down for Pepe, while for Arsenal they can offer a reduction in wage bill and a sizeable transfer fee either now or in 12 months. It’s a move that suits all parties.
