Arsenal have confirmed Nicolas Pepe has returned to France to join Nice on loan for the 2022/23 season.
The Ivory Coast international joined the Gunners in 2019 for a club record £72m from Lille but has never fully acclimatised to Premier League football. Attackers like Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard have impressed in recent years, often leaving Pepe short of regular football.
He will aim to get back to his best in Ligue 1 with Nice, who are looking to improve on last season's finish of fifth.
