Olympique Marseille president Pablo Longoria has asked Arsenal for Nicolas Pepe.

The Ivory Coast striker has been put up for sale by the Gunners at a starting price of £25m.

Longoria was in London last week to meet with Arsenal about taking left-back Nuno Tavares on-loan.

Le 10 Sport says he has also asked about Pepe, though cannot afford to meet Arsenal's valuation.

For the moment, Sevilla are favourites to sign the attacker.
