#1 Manchester United join race for Nicolas Pepe

FC Porto v Lille - Algarve Cup

After a super season in the French Ligue 1, there seem to be a lot of suitors for Lille superstar Nicolas Pepe. The forward had previously been linked with a move to Liverpool, with Bayern Munich’s name also in the mix.

However, it seems as though a new club have joined the race in the form of Manchester United. According to The Times, the Red Devils have advanced their discussions with the French outfit over a potential transfer of the player.

Arsenal and Everton are also the other clubs in the Premier League who are eying a move for him. The Reds, meanwhile, are yet to make a formal move for the star but have instead contacted the player’s camp to know of his willingness to move.

The valuation of the player is around £70 million.
