#4 Solskjaer wants £70m Nicolas Pepe deal to be completed quickly

Solskjaer has asked United to acquire the services of Nicolas Pépé

Manchester United's summer business has hit a roadblock since the transfer of Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace. And if a recent report is to be believed, despite being linked to defenders and midfielders, Solskjaer still wants to add another attacking player to his squad this summer.

The Times reports that the Norwegian has urged United to complete a deal for Lille star Nicolas Pepe, who has attracted attention around Europe after a fantastic season in the Ligue 1. The Ivorian created a stir by scoring 22 goals last season for Lille and he is certainly a player who fits Solskjaer's requirements. The 24-year-old is lightning fast and is extremely skillful on the ball. However, pricing him away from the French side will not be easy.

Lille reportedly want £70m for their star man and United also face quite a competition for his signature. However, the Red Devils are said to be in advanced talks with the Ligue 1 side, and a deal could still be possible.
