Nicolas Pepe has landed in North London today and will undergo a medical ahead of a move to Arsenal. Arsenal had earlier agreed an €80 million club-record deal with Ligue 1 outfit LOSC Lille to sign Pepe up.

As per the reports, Pepe will join Unai Emery's side on a 5-year deal. The Ivory Coast international has been on the radar of several top clubs across Europe with sides like Liverpool, Napoli etc. also coming to an agreement with LOSC Lille over the fee.

However, Pepe has decided to snub the rest of them and join Arsenal. The 22-year-old was in sensational form, scoring 22 goals whilst also producing 11 assists for Lille last season and was only outscored by Kylian Mbappe in the league.

Pepe also became the first player at LOSC Lille to score more than 20 goals a season after Eden Hazard did it for them in 2011.
