Transfer Deadline Day: Every Premier League Club's Best Signing Of The Window

20. Arsenal - Nicolas Pepe

If there were ever an example of a single signing saving an entire transfer window, Nicolas Pepe would be it. Before his transfer, Arsenal were stuck with a season-long loan for Dani Ceballos and William Saliba, who will be unavailable this season after returning to St Etienne on loan. Other than that, Arsenal were unwilling to spend big on any significant transfers... or so it seemed.

After being fruitless in their pursuits of the likes of Zaha and Tierney, Arsenal launched a staggering £72M bid out of the blue and claimed what many would see as the best signing of the summer. Arsenal fans have been foaming at the mouth over the prospect of a front 3 of Pepe, Lacazette and Aubameyang, and it would be hard not to given the pace and ability each player possesses.

With 33 goals and assists in 37 appearances, Pepe's quality is undoubted, and at 24 years of age, he is sure to hit the prime of his career within a few seasons. On deadline day, Arsenal also strengthened their defence with the signings of Tierney and David Luiz, so fans can finally hope to see a sturdy defence support one of the strongest attacking forces in the league.
