Nicolas Pépé has swiftly integrated into his new role at Villarreal, commencing training with the team less than 24 hours after finalizing his transfer. The Ivorian forward, who joined Villarreal from Trabzonspor, has wasted no time in acclimating to his new environment at the Ciudad Deportiva.
With the new season on the horizon, Villarreal is gearing up for a demanding start, including a high-profile fixture against Atlético Madrid on August 19.
To prepare for the season opener, the team will engage in two pre-season friendlies, offering Pépé an early opportunity to familiarize himself with his teammates and the club’s tactical approach.
The first of these friendlies will see Villarreal face Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, providing a significant test for the squad and a chance for Pépé to make his debut.
Following this match, the official presentation of Pépé will take place on Thursday, August 8, at 3 p.m. GMT. The ceremony will be held in the press room of the Estadio de la Cerámica.
Pépé’s contract with Villarreal is set for two years, extending until 2026. His swift adaptation and immediate involvement in training reflect his eagerness to contribute to the team’s success.
As the Yellow Submarines prepare for their upcoming challenges, Pépé’s integration will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
