Arsenal would like to bolster their squad with Nicolas Pepe, who has enjoyed a good start of the season at Lille. After eight Ligue 1 matches, the Ivorian striker scored five goals and made as many assists, which highly contributed to Lille currently taking the second place in the competition.

The estimated price for the 23-year-old is 35 million euro. However, Lille are not expected to sell their key player before the end of the season.

So far, the French-born Ivorian has never played outside France. Before moving to Lille last year, he had his spells at Angers and Orleans.
