Just realized we can field an all African front 3. Nigeria, Gabon, Côte d’Ivoire.
We are Africa’s team again. One of the reasons Arsenal had unparalleled support in sub-Saharan Africa was our early move into Africa with Lauren and Kanu.

Although they're representing England at the moment, the following are also all African:

Nelson (Zimbabwe)
Nketiah (Ghana)
Saka (Nigeria)

Guendouzi is also half Moroccan. Saliba Cameroonian.

Iwobi and Mkhitaryan on the wings last season were below par to say the least, especially with Hector out of the team, so Pepe fills a gaping hole in our squad. We have no one who has similar pace and dribbling ability. Plus we now finally have a player who can score goals from the wing.

While I'd say Nelson is ready for that left wing role, with Auba also featuring along with Iwobi, thinking about it I forgot how shit we are on the right. There really is nobody but Miki.

Aubameyang showed much more potency on the right wing in one pre-season game than he did on the left wing last season. Nelson hasn't convinced me he is ready so it's Iwobi, for me, on the left wing with Laca riding the bench.
