The club management of the Gunners have pulled off a great deal with signing Nicolas Pepe from Lille. The Ivory Coast winger has scored 22 goals and assisted in another 11 goals for Lille in Ligue 1 in the previous season. The reports were suggesting that Napoli almost sealed the deal of Nicolas Pepe but the player wanted the move to Arsenal.
The club management of the Gunners are going to pay £10 million bonuses to Lille to secure the deal of Pepe. The official transfer fee is going to be around £80 million. There were several top European clubs in the race to sign the winger of Ivory Coast in this summer transfer window. Two Serie A sides including Inter Milan and Napoli were very much keen to bring him in Italy. However, Nicolas Pepe personally wanted to move to Premier League.
The medical of the player is going to be conducted at the end of next week. However, there might still be some twists in the tale regarding the transfer of Pepe. We have to wait and follow this transfer news closely to find out what happen next. We can say that the addition of the Ivory Coast winger will certainly strengthen the front line of the Gunners.
