Arsenal have smashed their club-record transfer fee to sign Nicolas Pepe.

The Gunners paid Lille £72 million in order to secure the Ivory Coast international.

"Nicolas is a highly-rated and talented winger who was wanted by many of the top teams in Europe," said Arsenal boss Unai Emery.

"Signing a top-class winger has been one of our key objectives in this transfer window and I'm delighted he's joining.

"He will add pace, power and creativity, with the aim of bringing more goals to our team."
