Newcastle United have been urged to ignore Arsenal attacker Nicolas Pepe.

Didi Hamann insists Pepe can't handle the demands of being a Newcastle player.

Hamann told Genting Casino: "Nicolas Pepe has shown glimpses of what he can do and when he's on form he's as good to watch as anyone else but the risk is too big for me.

"Newcastle are a special club and I think the pressure could be even bigger than at Arsenal because at Arsenal the expectations are lower.

"For a player who performs well one in every eight games, I'd leave that transfer alone if I were Newcastle."
