Arsenal sets to sign Pepe for £72m

Arsenal has reached an agreement with French club Lille to sign Ivory Coast winger Nicolas Pepe in a deal worth 80m euros (£72m).
According to reports, Arsenal will pay for the 24-year-old via a series of instalments that suit their restricted budget for this summer.
An agreement between Arsenal and Pepe’s representatives still needs to be finalized but the transfer is expected to be completed in the next 24 to 48 hours.
He scored 23 goals for Lille last season and satisfies Arsenal’s need for a wide player with pace and high technical ability.
