“Villarreal“ club midfielder Nicolas Pepe commented on his former team London „Arsenal“ chances of winning the „Premier“ League and their difficulties:

„Let’s start with Mikel Arteta, who is a coach asking for certain things.

Sometimes it was a bit difficult for me when we occasionally didn’t have enough communication.

I regret that most, that we didn’t talk enough.“

„I truly believe that everything will depend on the details. They still have to play in the Champions League, so that needs to be managed.

„Manchester City“ only has the English championship left, so they will focus on that.

But actually everything will depend on the details, as I believe that the difference is just one goal.

I think that the „Arsenal“ team will eventually become champions, but it would really be a shame for „Man City“ to lose.“

30-year-old Nicolas Pepe played for the „Gunners“ from 2019 to 2022 and scored 27 goals in 112 appearances.

London „Arsenal“ is in first place in the English championship with 70 points.

They are three points ahead of „Manchester City“, but „Man City“ has a game in hand.
