#2- Nicolas Pépé
Nicolas Pépé has had a meteoric rise to stardom this season. The Ivory Coast international, has been linked with a host of top European clubs, most notably Bayern. Lille's current manager, Christophe Galtier has strongly hinted that Pépé could join Bayern this summer, saying, "I see him as good with a team that plays all in red and likes to put wingers on the side of their weaker foot." He then went on to compare Pépé to Robben ."He reminds me of Bayern’s two wingers. The younger Robben had this ability to eliminate players, cut inside and be clever in front of goal. Ribéry also had this ability", Galtier said.
Nicolas Pépé is currently second for combined goals and assists in Ligue 1, with 16 goals and 8 assists, for a combined total of 24. This impressive feat puts him second only to established superstar, Kylian Mbappé, who has 22 goals and 6 assists (BBC sport), but plays for a much stronger team. Pépé's accomplishment's are even more impressive, considering Lille's shocking 17th place finish, just 1 point above the relegation zone.
Pépé fits the Robben mould well, being a left-footed, right wing forward, with an eye for goal. His goal and assist output would surely only increase, playing in a stronger team.
