Chelsea and Arsenal gearing up for transfer battle over £44million star

Chelsea and Arsenal are reportedly among the clubs preparing to scrap it out for the transfer of Lille forward Nicolas Pepe after his superb start to the season.

The 23-year-old is attracting huge amounts of interest after notching up eight goals and five assists so far this season, with Chelsea and Arsenal mentioned as among those lining up moves for him, along with big names like Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, according to Telefoot.

Pepe certainly seems like he could do a job in the Premier League, and that he could be a bargain for the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal if he moves for Telefoot’s reported £44million fee.
