The annual Premier League battle for four, once again into the white-hot stage, because this season Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea firmly occupy the top three positions in the table, which also makes the season's competition for the top four battles further escalated, multiple teams compete for the last Champions League place, from the current situation, Arsenal and Tottenham hot is the most promising team, although the Gunners Arsenal has the name of the four crazy devils, but they certainly hope to get rid of this fate, the league title as their primary goal.
To reach such a height, the simplest and most effective way is to introduce strong reinforcements to enhance the team's combat effectiveness and competitiveness, in order to be able to raise enough transfer fees for head coach Arteta, Arsenal also began to plan to sell those players who are not in the team's long-term planning after the summer transfer window opened, according to the British media "footballlondon" news, Arsenal team historical standard King Pepe, has entered the list of purges, The Gunners' top brass hopes to be able to return £25 million in funds to Pepe, which is in stark contrast to the £72 million spent when he was first introduced, which is also a joke from many fans that Arsenal is no longer a discount sale, but a direct fracture sale!
In the later years of Professor Wenger's coaching, Arsenal, who continued to sell core players to survive, finally gave up real money in recent seasons to introduce strong reinforcements to the transfer market to enhance the team's combat effectiveness, among which after the opening of the summer transfer market in 2019, Arsenal took a fancy to pepe, a supernova who shined in Lille in Ligue 1.
In the 18-19 season Pepe played 41 games for Lille in all competitions, scored 23 goals, and delivered 11 assists, coupled with his age in his early 20s, making him the future star in the eyes of the Gunners, in order to persuade Lille to release, Arsenal also spent 72 million pounds in a sky-high transfer fee, setting a record in team history, making Pepe the standard king of team history.
But after coming to the Premier League, Pepe's performance is far from reaching the club's expectations, the first season 42 games 8 goals 10 assists, the second season 47 games 16 goals and 5 assists, are far from worth his worth, and Pepe on the field to give fans the feeling is a stunned youth, will only bow their heads forward, completely outside arteta's system, which is why he lost the main position this season.
Coupled with the fact that Pepe and Arsenal's contract will expire in only two seasons, from the current situation, the Gunners will certainly not choose to renew his contract, so if it continues to drag on, Arsenal will face the risk of leaving freely after pepe's contract expires, in order to avoid such a situation, selling it this summer is undoubtedly the most correct choice, after all, in the case of no profit, timely stop loss is the wisest move.
After experiencing the lows of the early season, Arsenal have gradually regained the feeling of winning, which has also made fans full of confidence in Arteta, believing that as long as the club gives him enough support and allows him to have sufficient transfer fees to build his favorite squad, Arsenal can regain the strength to impact the Premier League title in the near future!
