Juventus have joined the battle for Lille sensation Nicolas Pepe.

Arsenal are in contact with the Ivorian ahead of the January market, with Barcelona and Bayern Munich also mentioned as suitors.

Mundo Deportivo says Juve have joined the race for Pepe's signature as he continues to shine for LOSC.

Juve scouts have only just been posted to Lille games to see the attacker in action as his reputation across Europe continues to build.

For their part, Lille management insist Pepe is not for sale in January, though they're not in a position to turn down a major bid for the attacker.
