# Nicolas Pepe set for Arsenal medical

Nicolas Pepe is edging closer to completing his move to Arsenal. Earlier today, it was confirmed by [David Ornstein](https://twitter.com/bbcsport_david/status/1155052728525164544), that Lille and Arsenal have agreed a £72m deal.

In recent hours, reports in Italy suggest that Nicolas Pepe said “yes” to Arsenal’s proposal and will have his medical next week.

[Calcio Napoli](https://www.calcionapoli1926.it/news/449193/pepeacute-allarsenal-egrave-fatta-attende-lufficialitagrave-ultime?utm_campaign=shareaholic&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=socialnetwork), also mentions that Pepe will earn €9m per year at Arsenal and his agent will receive €12m in commission fees, four times what Napoli had offered.

According to La Voix Du Nord, as cited by [GFFN](https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2019/lille-held-a-meeting-yesterday-to-choose-from-nicolas-pepe-proposals/?fbclid=IwAR2WNnNcwF6MSgFDtpR07RX2fHbEUWs6VopB3lsXFgEFpWbSDqx8bVy3e_g), the Reds have pursued a deal for the Ivorian, with their proposals under consideration. However, this is not looking unlikely due to the fact Pepe is edging closer to the Gunnars.

Nicolas Pepe had a phenomenal campaign last season. Lille’s talisman bagged 23 goals and 12 assists in all competitions.

With less than two weeks to go, the current European Champions have not bought a first-team player.
