Nicolas Pepe arsenal record (1)
The winger, whose transfer was dubbed as a “horrendous mistake” by journalist Charles Watts, also earned a huge fortune during his time in England - pocketing more than Raya and Gabriel on a weekly basis.
According to Capology, Pepe took home £140k-per-week during his stint at Arsenal, a figure higher than the two current first-team stars, with Raya and Gabriel only earning £100k-per-week each.
When combining the winger’s yearly earnings with his mammoth transfer fee, he cost the club a huge £90m - which worked out to around £800k per appearance he made during his time in North London.

The move overall for Pepe was a complete disaster, costing the club a fortune but failing to provide the impact envisaged upon his big-money transfer under Unai Emery.
His move has undoubtedly provided a stark reminder for the club’s transfer business, allowing them to avoid such dealings and recruit players who have made a significant impact and helped the Gunners close in on a first title since the early 2000s.
