Lille’s President,Lopez Gerard has revealed that Arsenal are set to sign Lille forward Nicolas Pepe for €80million.
Pepe hit 22 Ligue 1 goals last season as Lille finished second in the table behind Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG coach Thomas Tuchel made his admiration for the Ivory Coast forward clear, with Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Manchester United among the other major clubs linked with Pepe.
Carlo Ancelotti also confirmed the player was a target for Napoli, but the 24 year old is instead set to become Arsenal’s record signing.
Pepe will join an impressive forward line at Arsenal, who also boast Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and former Lyon star Alexandre Lacazette.
He will become the Gunners’ third signing of the close season after Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos joined on loan and William Saliba chose Unai Emery’s side over rivals Tottenham.
