Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta insists he sees Nicolas Pepe in his long-term plans.
Pepe is facing a decisive summer in his Arsenal career as he will have two years to run on his current contract come the end of the season.
And asked if he thinks the winger sees his long-term future at Arsenal, Arteta said: “I hope he does.
“But I understand that when a player doesn't play he is disappointed and Nico has been disappointed because he wanted to have more minutes.
“But hopefully he can play many more minutes and he can contribute to the team because he has the ability to do it."
