Pundit said Arsenal would have signed Jack Grealish instead of Nicolas Pepe if Mikel Arteta was the manager

Since Arsenal signed Nicolas Pepe back in 2019, the Frenchman failed to excel at the Emirates club. The Frenchman scored 27 goals and provided 21 assists in 112 matches for the Emirates club.

Pepe spent the 2022-23 season away on loan at OGC Nice. Kevin Campbell has now said that the Gunners would have signed Grealish instead if Arteta was the manager at the point of Pepe's signing. He said (via HITC):

“Maybe he wouldn’t have signed him because of what Mikel Arteta looks for in players, maybe we wouldn’t have signed him. Maybe we would have signed someone like Jack Grealish. That’s the difference. But if Arteta was his first manager, then Nicolas Pepe would have had to do a lot more of that work he was trying to do just as he left when he was on loan and to get his game together."

He added:

“I don’t think he worked at his game enough or the transition from France to England didn’t come quick enough. He has got unbelievable ability and he helped Arsenal win an FA Cup under Mikel Arteta. His inconsistencies worked against him. Talent-wise, we know he has incredible talent.”

Grealish went on to sign for Manchester City in 2021. He enjoyed a massively successful campaign in 2022-23, winning the treble with Pep Guardiola's team. Pepe, meanwhile, has become an outcast at Arsenal.
