VIDEO: Pepe has come a long way in the last few months - Arteta

Mikel Arteta has spoken about Arsenal's record signing Nicolas Pepe ahead of their side's match against Newcastle on Sunday - check out what he had to say here!

The 'Gunners' have certainly had a disappointing season under the Spaniard, sitting just about in the top half in tenth. They come into this one following a poor 2-1 defeat away to Villarreal in the Europa League on Thursday, although attention now turns to domestic duties and climbing further up the league table.

Newcastle, meanwhile, have enjoyed a resurrection of sorts during recent games. A few impressive results - including a draw with reigning champions Liverpool thanks to a last-minute equaliser - leave them comfortably clear of the drop, nine points above Fulham in 18th.
