Everton have reportedly joined Liverpool in the race to land Lille forward Nicolas Pepe this summer.
According to The Telegraph, via The Mirror, Everton are showing an interest in signing Pepe from Lille ahead of next season.
The report claims that Liverpool have been heavily linked with a move for the forward, who caught the eye in Ligue 1 last term.
Everton are said to be considering whether or not to make an offer for Pepe, who Lille value at around £58m. The Telegraph say that it is unclear as to how high Everton are willing to go with a potential bid.
Lille revealed last month that Liverpool had been in talks with the club over a possible deal to bring Pepe over to England, but Jurgen Klopp’s side later denied these claims.
Pepe scored 23 goals in all competitions for Lille last season, with 22 of those coming in Ligue 1.
