Arsenal forward, Nicolas Pepe has come out to say that more first-team minutes at the club will improve his form.
He recently revealed that he needs to play more because a player who plays is happy.
According to him, more playing time will make him find a smile again because it is frustrating for any player to be on the bench.
He added that Arteta wants him to be 100 per cent focused when called upon and he would keep proving himself in training.
His words, “My goal is to play more, to have a little more playing time,”
“A player who plays is happy. For me, I would like to play a little more to find a smile again.
“He [Mikel Arteta] wants me to be 100 per cent focused during the 90 minutes of the match. Afterwards, I see during training that I will be a substitute the following weekend.
“But the coach speaks to me, he also has assistants who are there for that. But it is frustrating for any player to be on the bench.
“A super-sub role? The coach makes his choices. It’s up to me to show him that I don’t have that role.”
