Arsenal forward Nicolas Pepe has joined Ligue 1 side Nice on a season-long loan deal.
The Ivory Coast international, who arrived from Lille in August 2019 for a club-record fee of £72million (€79m), returns to France as he links up with Lucien Favre’s side for the 2022-23 campaign.
Pepe was presented to supporters at Allianz Riviera prior to the second leg of Nice’s Europa Conference League play-off tie with Maccabi Tel Aviv, where the French side are aiming to overturn a 1-0 deficit.
The forward has racked up 111 appearances across all competitions during his three seasons at the Emirates Stadium, scoring 27 goals, and will link up with another former Gunner Aaron Ramsey.
