Lille president Gerard Lopez admits Nicolas Pepe will be sold this summer.

Arsenal and Barcelona have been linked with Pepe and, according to Lopez, he will be available to sign this summer as Lille can no longer afford him.

Lopez explained: "This summer, I think we will sell four to five players, no more.

"All clubs are forced to balance their accounts except perhaps one. I would say, it is sure he will leave.

"He enters a price range that can no longer be paid. There is a career choice for him to make. I think he will have the choice."

Pepe shone on Sunday night as Lille thrashed PSG 5-1. He scored once and set up two other goals as the shock result delayed the Parisian's Ligue 1 coronation.
