Arsenal will pay an initial £20million for Nicolas Pepe, according to reports.

The Gunners agreed a £72m deal with Lille to sign the talented winger.

They will be given five years to pay the remaining £52m, according to the Daily Mail.

Signing Pepe represents a massive coup for the Gunners, given the likes of PSG, Manchester United and Napoli were interested in the 24-year-old.

The Ivory Coast international will form a frightening attacking trio alongside Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
