| Biography: |
To start off, there was clearly a lot of drama behind the scenes of this transfer Raul Sanllehi ended up losing his job, likely because of this deal and the money attached to it, and Unai Emery reportedly wanted Crystal Palace???s Wilfried Zaha instead of Pepe. Arteta added that he hopes Arsenal can see the best of Pepe "from now to the end of the season" but explained he "needs to earn" playing time with his performances on the pitch. He made his professional debut in 2014 with Angers. Appearing on Telefoot during his days as an Angers player, before joining Lille, Pepe declared: "Chelsea. It's a club that makes me dream. It's the only club in England that I would sign for." IN THREE PHOTOS: His impact was clear on the weekend when he hit the post and kept his cool to net a 96th minute penalty to earn a 1-1 draw against Nantes. Pepe has already assumed responsibility for such high-pressure moments and that bodes well. |
