Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Lille winger Nicolas Pépé, according to a report from Tutto Mercato Web.
The Gunners had initially taken a serious liking to Roma wide-man Cengiz Ünder, but found the Italian outfit reluctant to allow the young Turk to leave (they must have some bad experience of letting wingers leave).
Ready to cough up in excess of €30 million, it remains to be seen whether the North Londoners could snap up Pépé for a price in that region.
The 23-year-old has been playing out of his skin in Ligue 1 so far this season, scoring 12 goals and recording five assists in 19 matches.
A right winger by trade, the Ivory Coast international could be right at home as part of an Arsenal front three with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.
The forward has scored 25 goals in 54 appearances for Lille, and is one of the most sought after players in Europe.
