Nicolas Pepe has sent a brief message to Arsenal following his departure to Trabzonspor, which has now finally been confirmed.

After a bit of a delay in sorting out all the details, Trabzonspor finally confirmed their agreement for the signature of Nicolas Pepe on Sunday night, before posting an Oppenheimer-inspired announcement video on Monday morning.

Arsenal had already confirmed Pepe’s departure previously, as he’d terminated his contract with the Gunners separately to his negotiations with Trabzonspor.

Pepe responded to Arsenal’s announcement of the exit with a two-word message, “Gunners fam”, on Instagram.
