Arsenal emerge as frontrunners in transfer race for €50m winger

Arsenal are the favourites to sign Lille attacker Nicolas Pepe in January, but they may face hard competition for his signature. According to L’Equipe journalist Matt Spiro, one man the club has identified, as a major target to boost their bid for a Champions League spot is Pepe, who has been arguably one of the best players in Ligue 1 over the last few months. Lille will negotiate in January if a club opens bidding at €50m; however, the club’s owner remains reluctant to lose him mid-way through the season. https://twitter.com/mattspiro/status/1074579195588734976
