Former Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe has signed for Spanish LaLiga club Villarreal.
According to Villarreal, Pepe signed a two-year deal with the club, joining on a contract lasting until June 30th, 2026.
Pepe held a medical over the weekend, and he’s already linked up with his new teammates for a first training session.
The 29-year-old was available to sign as a free agent, having come to the end of his contract with Turkish Super Lig side Trabzonspor.
