Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta insists Nicolas Pepe has a place in his plans.

Pepe has found playing time hard to come by in the Premier League as the likes of Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Gabriel Martinelli continue to shine.

And Arsenal resisted interest from Lyon and Marseille in January for the little-used attacker.

But Arteta says: "A player that doesn't play if he's happy we have a big problem.

"Nico has not been happy and asking for more minutes. This is the attitude we want from our players."
