Fans, however, have remained impatient following the delay as the announcement rumours began about 2 days ago. In fact, Unai Emery’s Wednesday’s comment regarding the 24-year-old star sparked a lot of wild reactions from fans;
When asked in an interview about Pepe, Emery replied: “No deal is official now [for Pépé] and I will only speak in the next hours or days if it can be official for us.”
Arsenal fans could not hold this as they stormed Twitter to slam their club for the slow progress;

Just be honest, “we’ve signed him but our media team is trying to win an Oscar so the deal will be announced on deadline day at 23:59”
