‘I’m Genuinely Speechless’ ‘I Still Believe I haven’t Woken Up’ I Don’t Quite Believe It’ Arsenal Fans Thrilled By Latest Transfer Update

Arsenal are closing in on a deal for Lille winger Nicolas Pepe, according to multiple reports in the English media.

It is believed that the Gunners could finalise the signing for the Ivorian international in the next 24 hours, with personal terms close to being agreed.


Supporters on Twitter are very excited by the prospect of Pepe joining the club:

Considering all the talk of the club’s limited transfer budget this summer, a move for a player worth €80m (£72m) has come as a big surprise to many.

It appears that Arsenal have been very smart with their accounting, offering to pay the transfer fee in instalments over the next few seasons, which Lille have agreed to.

A front three of Pierre-Emerick Aubmeyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Pepe will surely be very exciting to watch next campaign, if the Gunners do manage to get the transfer over the line for the 24-year-old.
