Angers winger Nicolas Pepe is attracting interest from England.

L'Equipe says Newcastle are keen to snap up Pepe - but Everton and Liverpool are now reportedly shock contenders for his signature.

It's suggested Pepe could be available for just £8.5m.

Everton are in the market for a new winger following Gerard Deulofeu's departure to AC Milan.

But Liverpool are well stocked with attacking options and would probably view Pepe as a star for the future.

Toon chief Rafa Benitez has been linked with a host of stars as he eyes promotion back to the Premier League.
