Transfer News : Nicolas Pepe attracting interest from Arsenal and Manchester United

FC Porto v Lille - Algarve Cup


Lille forward Nicolas Pepe is reportedly attracting interest from both Arsenal and Manchester United.

According to French outlet Telefoot, as cited on Calciomercato, both Premier League sides are keeping tabs on the forward.
Pepe was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League throughout the summer, but he remained in France.
It was expected that Lille may struggle to keep hold of the player who scored 13 goals across all competitions last season.

There has previously been interest in Europe, with Lyon, Sevilla and Real Betis all linked with the player.
Southampton had been linked with a move for the player during the summer and some reports claim the Saints had a bid rejected by Lille.

The Saints were offering around €14 million for Pepe, but Lille were demanding closer to €30 million in order to seal a deal, which may be an indicator of how much both United and Arsenal will have to spend.- Read Sport
