Nicolas Pepe’s early season form has been a big talking point among fans and pundits alike.
The Ivorian has struggled to adapt to the Premier League, despite some flashes of brilliance along the way.
Some eagle-eyed fans spotted the brilliant piece of skill he displayed against Bournemouth on Sunday, but unfortunately for him, these Arsenal supporters were all saying the same thing after seeing the clip.

Twitter: @urbanarsenaI He again was utterly poor yesterday. Martinelli and Saka were 10 times better. (@MiloszGiese)
Twitter: @urbanarsenaI @afccentro He literally lost the ball after this (@romeynohomies)
Twitter: @urbanarsenaI Really? Call him a baller when he’s actually won a game or done something of note and significance! D… https://t.co/vNP0nMcKOD (@soccerdiva)
Twitter: @urbanarsenaI @mikesanz19 talent is clear, just needs to work on his final ball . (@Gbaihd)
Twitter: @urbanarsenaI all that and then he lost the ball. I would rather have a guy who makes the right pass and keeps possesison (@reginaldjordan1)
Twitter: @urbanarsenaI Wasted talent at a absolute joke of a club (@jackbrowningg)
Twitter: @urbanarsenaI I mean it would be good if he could skill himself through on goal and score… hopefully soon ? (@PiksOfficial97)
Read Arsenal verdict
It can be hard for Arsenal fans to be patient when they’ve seen the great player that Pepe can be in France.
Of course, a player like Pepe will need time in the Premier League and it may be months yet before we see the best of him in an Arsenal shirt.
However, the Gunners need him to be at his best sooner rather than later. The winger risks adding more pressure to himself over the coming weeks if he cannot produce anything of note in the Premier League.
