#2 The want for Pepe
\Nicolas Pepe has been a revelation this season for Lille as he has already scored 8 goals and has assisted 7 times so far and has, as a result, caught the attention of clubs that belong to the top echelons of European football.
One among them is Manchester City and it has been reported by The Times that the Citizens have made an inquiry for the in-demand player. It will, however, take a big bid to coax him out of the French club, who have already reportedly rejected a £26 million bid from Lyon.
Meanwhile, the high-flying Gunners are perhaps looking to add more wings to their arsenal (yes, 100% pun intended) as Unai Emery’s team is being linked with Nicolas Pepe by the respectable Tele Foot.
Emery has been impressed by the player’s performance this season and he is not the only one as Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich are also among the teams vying for his signature.
