Arsenal's record signing Nicolas Pepe has paid tribute to boss Unai Emery for helping him settle in north London.

The 24-year-old concedes it will take time to adjust to the Premier League but has lifted the lid on how close Emery is working with him.

"It's been really good because he speaks French and it has been much easier for us to communicate," Pepe told Arsenal Player.

"I am new, the strategy and tactics are new and it really helps that I can get the coach's assistance. Now I need to learn English and this is something he is helping me with also."

He added: "I chose to come here because it's a club with a lot of ambition. They have the dream of coming back to the Champions League and I am also an ambitious person, so the choice was very logical.

"I am attracted to the Premier League because it is an extremely intense championship and the best league in the world.

"The idea is to win the Europa League and that is a goal of ours. It's a European event and our goal is to do better than last season. I believe I will."
