League - French Ligue 1 (X2)

16 GOALS (32 POINTS)

Not much was known about Nicolas Pepe in seasons gone by (his wikipedia page is rather sparse), but this season, he has been breathtaking to say the least, and is one of the most sought after players in Europe, with most of the major clubs competing with each other to get his signature.

So far this campaign, the 23-year-old Ivorian international has scored 16 goals and registered eight assists from 23 Ligue 1 matches to help the 2011 league champions sit second in the current campaign.

Owing to his impressive form, it is no surprise to know that he is on the radar of major clubs in Europe, as reports have emanated that Arsenal have identified him as a priority signing ahead of next campaign, and if he is to keep up this from, it is hard to see Lille holding on to him for much longer.
