Arsenal will have to break the bank if they are to sign Nicolas Pepe from LOSC Lille, according to reports.
It is claimed by France Football, as cited by the Mirror, that the Ligue 1 giants could opt to cash in on their attacker but will only consider offers if they are worth in excess of €60 million.
The winger, who has operated in a central role for Lille this season, has enjoyed an excellent past few months in France and has subsequently seen his signature chased by clubs from across Europe.
Unai Emery is understood to have identified Pepe as a potential target ahead of the upcoming January transfer window, which is just weeks away from opening.
The Ivory Coast international is a crucial player for Lille and has made 17 starts in the top-flight of French football this term. In this time, he has found the net on 11 occasions.
Pepe has also chipped in with a total of five assists in Ligue 1 as he continues to impress with his energetic, productive displays.
