The stat that shows why Nicolas Pepe would be the perfect signing for Arsenal and Unai Emery

January transfer window is near and Arsenal are considering transfers for several targets. Arsenal will try to improve their options in defence and attack as Danny Welbeck and Rob Holding are injured. There’s one player, who the Gunners will look to add to their ranks and that player is Nicolas Pepe. The Ivory Coast winger is enjoying a superb season for Lille in Ligue 1 as he has scored 12 goals already this season and leads the scoring charts in France, along with Paris Saint Germain sensation Kylian Mbappe. According to WhoScored.com, he has won possession in the attacking third 18 times this season, more than any of player in the French top flight. That is the exact type of intensity that Emery is trying to instil in his side and is the major reason why Mesut Ozil is currently finding himself being kept on the touchline by Arsenal's head coach.
