As such, it's believed manager Mikel Arteta is looking for a new winger to give his team more firepower up front. According to Portuguese newspaper A Bola, the Spaniard has been monitoring Pepe's progress at Porto and is weighing up a move for him.

The talent's existing deal doesn't expire until June 2026, yet Arsenal can release him from that by triggering his reported €60m clause (around £51.3m). The Gunners may tempt the Portuguese giants with a lower offer for Pepe if rumours are to be believed.
