Former Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe nearly left football due to heavy criticism soon after his £72m transfer.

The Gunners paid an initial £20m with £52m over five years. Pepe scored 27 goals in 112 appearances for Arsenal, but his contract was terminated last summer to cut wage costs.

The Impact on Pepe’s Mental Health

Pepe revealed in the L’Equipe interview that he almost left the club because of constant criticism that he regarded as ‘almost harassment’.

A recent report from Sportsbuddy reveals that an Arsenal academy Daniel Oyegoke confessed his hatred for London Rivals.

We used to batter them! It was always a good game for us. They tried to explain how big the derby was to you when you were young. I’ve never particularly liked Spurs. Maybe we can have a go at trying to batter them again!

A result of this, Pepe stated that criticism from social media, media and club members had an impact on his mental health and football. ”The only people who have always stood by me are the Arsenal fans,” he said.
