Wolves part ways with manager O’Neil after loss against Ipswich
Wolves have confirmed the departure of manager O'Neil on Sunday following their 2-1 loss against Ipswich Town in the Premier League.
After a sensational season for Lille in Ligue1, Nicholas Pepe, who has now signed for Arsenal, is all set and ready to make a significant impact in the Premier League.
The 24-year-old signed for Arsenal agreeing to a £72 million contract. However, Pepe does not seem to be bothered about the huge expectations that come along with the enormous price tag.

“Lionel Messi,” Pepe said to Arsenal.com when he was asked about which present player he admires the most. “Because he is simply the best player in the world,” he added.
He then went on to elaborate what it is about Messi that distinguishes him from the other great players in the world. “Fast. Quick to connect with the ball and a good finisher as well,” he said.
“That is also an area where I have made progress. I would say that I am quick and a dribbler.”
Arsenal begin their Premier League season when they lock horns against Newcastle United and Pepe is expected to be in the starting XI for Arsenal’s opening clash which will take place at St. James’ Park on Sunday, 11 August.
