Nicolas Pepe has not been convinced by Al Shabab's approach to join the Saudi Pro League Club. The Arsenal winger gives priority to joining Turkish side Trabzonspor, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Nicolas Pepe has recently had the option of joining Saudi Pro League club Al Shabab. The attacker owned by Arsenal is looking for a move away from the Emirates Stadium, but his destination is not Arabia.

The former Lille winger has not played a single minute for Arsenal this season and is not in Mikel Arteta's plans. Last season he was on loan at OGC Nice where he played 28 games and scored 8 goals.

The striker is looking for a way out as he is out of the Gunners project, but he does not want to join the Saudi league. The player's priority is to join Turkish club Trabzonspor.

The Ivory Coast player was signed by Arsenal after scoring 23 goals and providing 12 assists in the 2018-19 season with Lille in Ligue 1. His signing for the Gunners cost £72m and the Gunners winger has not lived up to expectations.
