Nicolas Pepe

30-Year-Old Forward/MidfielderF/M
Villarreal
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Pepe's career hasn't fully come to fruition since his Arsenal days, but he extended his contract with Villarreal this summer and that faith is good enough. He finished 2024/25 with three goals and six assists, taking on a small role of set pieces that helped him to 38 shots and 33 chances created. He started six of the final seven matches last season, being used up top or on the wing, showing his ability to play where needed. While consistent starts may not be there, when in the starting XI, Pepe often produces in some way on the attacking end.
Extends with Villarreal
F/MVillarreal
July 16, 2025
Pepe has signed an extension with Villarreal, according to his club.
ANALYSIS
Pepe is going to remain with Villarreal for a few more seasons after signing with the club last summer as a free agent, with the attacker extending until June 2028. He saw a decent spell last season, notching 15 starts in 28 appearances while registering three goals and six assists. That said, he will look to see a similar role or improve on his minutes, possibly breaking the 10-goal contribution mark after being so close this season.
