Nicolas Pepe, the LOSC Lille forward, who was outscored only by Kylian Mbappe last season has been one of the most sought after players this summer. With several European giants circling, his exit looked merely like a matter of where Pepe wants to be beyond the season.

And now, if the latest reports are to be believed, that seems to be an accurate prediction. Arsenal, Liverpool, Napoli and Inter Milan have all agreed a deal in principle for Nicolas Pepe. They have all agreed to a fee with LOSC Lille and now it's upto the player to choose which club he wants to join.

Manchester United are also interested in the player and could yet reach an agreement over the fee with Lille.

Lille president George Lopez has confirmed that they have received 4 offers that matched their valuation of Pepe though he did not reveal the names of the clubs.

He said,

‘For Pepe, we have received four acceptable offers from four big clubs. Napoli have made a bid for Pepe which satisfies our €80m (£72m) demand."
