Pepe close to Arsenal switch

According to a recent report from Sky Sports News, Nicolas Pepe has landed in England ahead of his proposed move to Arsenal. The Lille star is set to make the switch over to the Emirates for a fee of around £72 million, which comes after a fantastic season in 2018/19 in which he was able to score 22 league goals in Ligue 1. Pepe has been linked with a move to the Premier League for longer than we can remember, and now, it appears as if the Gunners have won the race for his signature.

One of the big question marks surrounding Pepe’s impending move to Arsenal, now more than ever, is going to be what happens to their potential Wilfried Zaha deal. Crystal Palace wanted £80 million for him, but now that Arsenal have spent that on Nicolas Pepe, there’s a lot of uncertainty about his future and where he’s going to end up.
