Arsenal fans love what Nicolas Pepe did to Granit Xhaka and Gabriel Martinelli in training

Nicolas Pepe's arrival at Arsenal has been met with a lot of excitement from Gunners fans, and the latest video of the Ivorian in training will only add to that excitement.

Pepe was officially unveiled as an Arsenal player on Thursday afternoon, and has become the club's biggest signing with the deal that has seen him arrive at the club being worth £72m. 

The forward impressed in Ligue 1 for Lille last season, scoring an impressive 22 goals, and he has been bought to the Emirates in the hope of adding depth to the Gunners' goalscoring options, which includes Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

After days of waiting, Arsenal fans are now able to see the new signing in action as he trained with his teammates on Friday. The 24-year-old could make his debut in a red shirt when the Gunners take on Barcelona in their final pre-season friendly on Sunday.

A video of the new man's first training session has now emerged, with him already catching his new teammates out with his skill.

The video shows Pepe not only nutmegging midfielder Granit Xhaka, but also following it up with a second nutmeg on fellow summer signing Gabriel Martinelli.

Following the Barcelona friendly, Arsenal and Pepe are straight into Premier League action. They take on Newcastle United in their season opener on Sunday 11th August.

Judging by the reaction of Arsenal fans, they will be expecting to see a lot more Pepe nutmegs throughout the season.
