Sevilla keen as Arsenal dramatically slash Pepe asking price

Arsenal are ready to sell Nicolas Pepe - and for a cut-price fee.

Pepe became the Gunners' record signing at £72m in 2019 when he joined from Lille, but he has struggled to cement his place in the starting XI.

Diario de Sevilla says Sevilla are said to have begun talks with Arsenal over Pepe's availability.

However, his salary presents an issue to Sevilla, with Pepe needing to lower his current £100,000 per week demands if a move is to happen.

There is also a question over the fee, with Sevilla only prepared to pay £15m for the 27-year-old.

The Gunners are holding out for around £10m more as they look to recoup some of the huge fee they forked out just three years ago.
