Villarreal's move to sign Pepe was a risky one. Once considered one of the brightest young talents in European football, Pepe has failed to live up to expectations at Arsenal, constantly criticised for his inconsistency and poor finishing.

Villarreal are undergoing a rebuilding phase. Signing Pepe is part of that plan. By signing free agents, Villarreal hope to save on transfer fees and strengthen their squad.
