It is expected that the 23-year-old Cote d'Ivoire international is going to be the next big thing in European football. Nicolas Pepe endured a tremendous season for Lille OSC, racking up 22 goals and assisting 11 times from 38 Ligue 1 matches. His successful period in the French league helped his team to finish the season in the second position.

If we take a look at his overall statistics, we will find how much potential this fellow possesses. In the French league 2018-19, Pepe averaged 64% shooting accuracy and 79% passing accuracy. He also completed 32.44 touches per match on an average during last season in the league.

Nicolas Pepe is fast, hard-working and pretty much precise with his finishing touches. He can be a centre-forward as well as a right winger. Stories from different media outlets have already suggested that several European heavyweights are monitoring the forward. Barcelona could join the race and sign one of the best aspiring assets.
