# Arsenal told to pay €50m for Pepe

Arsenal have been told that they will have to pay €50m to land Portugal international Nicolas Pepe.

The Gunners are said to be keen on a move for the athletic winger and are considering a January approach.

[According to Calcio Mercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/lille-richiesta-super-per-pepe-91653), Lille, his current club, value him at €50m and will not sell for less.

Pepe has impressed in Ligue 1 this season and caught the eye of Unai Emery, who is interested in strengthening his wide options.

Arsenal are looking to add a new winger to their squad in the next two transfer windows and Pepe is a key target.

The report also claims that Spanish giants Barcelona are keeping tabs on him as they consider a move.

Barcelona are looking to get shot of Malcom in January, who has been touted with a loan switch to Arsenal.

The Brazilian has fallen out-of-favour in Catalan and could make the move to the Premier League.
