Pepe arrives in Castellón following a turbulent spell at Arsenal, where he failed to live up to the hefty price tag attached to him. Once considered one of Europe’s most promising talents, the Ivorian winger struggled to find consistency in the Premier League.

A brief stint at Trabzonspor followed before his move to Villarreal.

The Yellow Submarine will be hoping that a change of scenery can reignite Pepe’s career. With a contract until 2026, the former Lille star has the opportunity to prove his worth in La Liga.
