#3 Everton join race for Nicolas Pepe

Pepe

Nicolas Pepe rocked the Ligue 1 last season with his dazzling displays for Lille. He scored 23 goals from 41 games and attracted the interest of many top clubs around Europe, namely Liverpool.

However, according to a report from Liverpool Echo, Everton want to sign the talented forward but they are afraid about being priced out of a move. The report claims that the Ivorian is among the prime targets for the Merseyside outfit but they are aware of the demand of the player.

As a result, a bidding war could take place for the player, which would see his price skyrocket out of the reach of the Toffees.

However, Marco Silva eyes him for a role on the right-wing and Everton will look to test the waters with Lille. The forward is valued at around £60 million and the Merseyside rivals are both willing to get him.
