Arsenal have launched an internal investigation into the deal they made to sign Nicolas Pepe last summer, fearing that they overpaid to bring in the Ivorian in for a club record £72m.

Director and son of the owner, Josh Kroenke, invited supporters of the club to 'be excited' prior to the beginning of the 2019/20 season, words he followed up on when Arsenal brought in the forward from Lille amid interest from across Europe.
