Lille winger Nicolas Pepe has been photographed at Arsenal’s training ground ahead of his club-record move to the Gunners.
Arsenal have agreed a deal worth £72million for the Ivorian as they look to bolster their attacking options for the new season.
A move to bring Pepe to the Emirates Stadium is close to completion and now the winger has been spotted at Arsenal’s training ground.
Photographs published by the Sun show the 24-year-old arriving at the Gunners’ base in London Colney to undergo a medical.
Arsenal’s official photographer was also snapped walking into the building with Pepe, suggesting an official announcement is close.
The winger’s arrival will be seen as a major coup for Arsenal given the level of interest in him this summer.
Indeed, Lille had also accepted an offer from Napoli for Pepe but the Ivory Coast international has opted to move to north London instead.
