Arsenal target Lille's Pepe

Nicolas Pepe, 23, has been one of Ligue 1's star players this season, with eight goals and five assists in 13 games for Lille. 

According to 'The Times', Unai Emery could table an offer to bring the Ivory Coast international to the Emirates Stadium as a replacement for Danny Welbeck, who is expected to be out for the rest of the season after breaking his ankle. 

Lille are said to value Pepe at £27m, while Arsenal's North London rivals Tottenham have also expressed an interest in the player. 

Arsenal resume their Premier League campaign on Sunday as they visit Eddie Howe's Bournemouth.
