Lille OSC, a Ligue 1 club that barely survived relegation last season are on a roll this season. They occupy the second position in the league standings, though they are a whopping 13 points behind league leaders PSG.

Well, one might naturally ask what the club has done to transform its fortune in just six months? The answer is a solid defensive play matched by a good attacking performance so far led by the 23-year-old Nicolas Pepe.

The Ivorian winger has been on fire this season, scoring 8 goals and notching up 7 assists for his teammates in just 13 league games.

He has a strong left-foot, his pace leaves the opposition defense stunned, he is nimble with the ball at his feet, and of course knows how to finish.

Recently, he has been linked with Arsenal, and an injury to Danny Welbeck may force Emery to opt for this winger who may cost £45 million, The Sun reported.

He could really flourish in the Premier League, at a time when wingers like Hazard, Salah, and Sterling are already taking the league by storm.
