Arsenal chasing Nicolas Pepe

Arsenal are chasing promising Lille winger Nicolas Pepe, the Mirror reports.

Pepe was one of the shining lights of Ligue 1 last season after netting 13 times in 36 games in his debut season with the club.

He has so far continued to his fine form into the start of this season as he scored and added an assist in Lille’s win over Rennes on the opening day.

The Mirror states that  L’Equipe are reporting that Arsenal are now looking to sign the winger in the January transfer window.

Lyon, Seville and Real Betis are all also thought to be keen on signing the Ivory Coast winger.

Pepe has been capped eight times for the Ivory Coast and has scored three times for his country.

France Football reported last month that Southampton had a bid of £12.5 million rejected by Lille for his services.
