Bayern Munich edge ahead of Liverpool, Man Utd for Lille attacker Pepe

Bayern Munich are regarded as favourites to land Lille attacker Nicolas Pepe.

The Lille winger, 24, is on Liverpool and Manchester United's summer hitlist but also has a big offer from the Bundesliga champions.

Bayern are ready to swoop in a £70million deal for the Ivory Coast international after struggling to agree a fee for Manchester City winger forward Leroy Sane, says The Sun.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has tracked the French-born star as he looks for a young right-winger to bolster his attack.

And Jurgen Klopp has also considered Pepe following his Champions League triumph, with the Kop boss only tweaking his squad to add quality this summer.
