Arsenal are imminent to complete Pepe deal as the 24-year-old was at Arsenal’s training ground for his medical and first pictures in Arsenal kit and video of Nicolas Pepe tapping the Arsenal badge was leaked last night. But Arsenal faithful are craving for his official announcement – Lille chief Lopez has all but confirmed deal in an interview on French TV.
“He is the one who made the decision, I think it should be (made official) in the next 24 hours,” Lopez told French TV station RMC.
“It is €80m fixed. If we pushed this deal out a little bit longer, we could have had 5 or 6 offers of the same size.
“Through discussions with Nico and his agents, things focused on the certain clubs that we wanted to focus on, the two projects that interested the player.”
