Arsenal are desperate to sign Lille winger Nicolas Pepe in the summer.

Pepe is also wanted by Manchester City and Barcelona after scoring nine goals in 15 appearances for the Ligue 1 club this season.

There was talk of Arsenal pushing for a January move for Pepe.

However, French outlet Mercato 365 have claimed that the Gunners want to bring the 23-year-old to the Emirates in the summer of 2019.

It is believed Arsenal can secure the Ivory Coast international with an offer of €50m.
