Arsenal's new signing Nicolas Pepe names former Gunners player inspiring him

Arsenal newcomer Nicolas Pepe has signed a contract with Gunners and become the most expensive signing for North London side in the history of this club. The Ivory Coast international  is keen to follow in the footsteps of some of his fellow compatriots, namely Gervinho. Pepe told the official Arsenal website: "They are the major players from the Ivory Coast. We talk a lot about Gervinho, for example, who played for Lille and ended up at Arsenal so I am on the same path. They are definitely examples to us young Ivorians and I hope we will continue to follow these examples." The 24-year-old winger is expected to make his debut in the first Premier League match against Newcastle.
