Similar to other footballers, Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe has opted to go with a buzzcut with the country remaining in lockdown.
His sister Corinne posted the footage on her Instagram page yesterday and fans on Twitter have been reacting to the Ivory Coast international’s new look:
Hes aged about 40 years

Know your Arsenal history. Whenever Thierry Henry got a fresh cut = impending doom for the opposition. No exception.

To be fair to Pepe, he didn’t have much hair in the first place so it won’t be long before it all grows back once again.
It is a frustrating time for Arsenal’s players with training being postponed indefinitely until it is known when the Premier League season will return.
More talks between all 20 top-flight clubs will be held on Friday with the main talking point being a June 30th deadline for the campaign ending.
A number of teams are concerned that with contracts and loans expiring on that date, continuing on the season into July could prove to be problematic. We shall have to wait and see what they decide.
