The heart of the matter
According to Sky Sports, Pepe has decided to move to Arsenal. The 24-year-old has reportedly agreed personal terms with the Gunners and has chosen them over Napoli, who also had an agreement with Lille over the fee for the forward.
Arsenal manager Unai Emery was asked a question about Nicolas Pepe in a recent press conference, to which he replied:
Pepe is set to be Arsenal’s fourth signing of the summer after Gabriel Martinelli, William Saliba and Dani Ceballos.
What’s next?
Despite being on a restricted budget, Arsenal have had a decent transfer window and have made some quality acquisitions to their squad. The Gunners are on the verge of signing one of the hottest properties in Europe at the moment and will be hopeful of making one more signing - Kieren Tierney- before the transfer window closes.
