#3 Nicolas Pepe (LOSC Lille)

With 17 goals and 10 assists from just 29 matches so far this season, Pepe has turned the heads of virtually all top European clubs. His rapid pace, versatility and agility mark him out as a very special player indeed. He has been compared to Sadio Mane, who both share similar attributes.
Pepe only rose to the surface a couple of years ago, following his £9m move from SCO Angers. Before then, he hadn't really been acknowledged by any team outside of Ligue 1. How things have changed.
In today's market, Nicolas Pepe will undoubtedly cost a fortune, especially given just how well he has been playing in recent seasons. His market value is reportedly around £40m, but a realistic price to acquire his services is likely to be around the £60m-£70m mark. Lille know just how good Pepe is and aren't going to let him go cheaply.
