New Arsenal signing Nicolas Pepe reportedly turned down the chance to join Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp's side couldn't guarantee the winger a regular starting berth.
Pepe joined Arsenal from Lille on Thursday for a club record fee of £72million.
As reported by Get French Football News, the winger was also the subject of strong interest from Liverpool, but a move failed to materialise.
With the prolific Mohamed Salah frequently deployed on the right flank for Liverpool, Pepe may not have been a regular starter had he made the switch to Anfield.
