According to Telefoot, Arsenal would be ‘willing to put €50m on the table’ to complete Nicolas Pepe ’s signing from Lille.
With nine goals and five assists so far, playing as a right-sided attacker, Pepe certainly justifies the hype being built around him.
However, Pepe is happy at Lille, and quizzed by Telefoot on his future, he explained: “We do not know what the future will be, for the moment I’m at LOSC. I have something specific to do at LOSC. It’s something that I want to do already this season and then think about the next season.”
That may be qualifying for European competition, but if Arsenal or another club to put the €50m down then Lille’s resolve will be tested.
