LOSC Lille's striker, Nicolas Pepe, is one of the most lethal forwards in the world. Since making his €9 million move to the French giants, the Ivory Coast international has been in a prolific form and has impressed with his performances for the Great Danes.

The 23-year-old has netted 13 goals and provided nine assists in the 21 appearances he has made so far this term. The right-winger is currently the third-highest goal-scorer in the Ligue 1, ahead of Neymar Jr and only behind Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe. While PSG looks untouchable, Lille have occupied the second spot in the French league and have a three-point lead over third-placed Lyon.

EPL giants, Arsenal were recently being linked with the forward, and it is expected that the Lille man would be one of the emerging stars in the European football, in the coming future.
