Arsenal have made a lucrative €80m offer for Liverpool transfer target Nicolas Pepe, according to Telefoot.
The report claims that Arsenal are keen on a deal for the forward and have made an official offer in the region of €80m.
Liverpool have been linked with Lille star, but could now be beaten to the punch by Arsenal if they strike a deal with the Ligue 1 club.
Due to his ferocious pace, potent finishing and fantastic work rate, he fits Klopp’s philosophy perfectly. The relentless Ivorian international contributed a staggering 33 goals last season for Lille.
Furthermore, there was speculation last season that Arsenal were interested in Nicolas Pepe. If the deal does now go through, Arsenal will have a huge prospect on their hands next year.
Moreover, back in February the Lille manager Christophe Galter mentioned, as quoted by TalkSport, that
I can see him well in a team that plays in red. He has to go to a Champions League club. In my opinion, he does not need an intermediate step to go as high as possible.
