Lille President Says Rumoured Arsenal Target Nicolas Pepe 'Sure' to Leave

Arsenal are one of three clubs who may be glad to hear the latest words from Lille president Gerard Lopez, who believes he won't be able to keep star player Nicolas Pepe.

The Ivory Coast winger has been linked with Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as the Gunners, and Lopez thinks it's not a matter of if Pepe will leave this summer, per Goal:

"This summer, I think we will sell four to five players, no more. All clubs are forced to balance their accounts except perhaps one. I would say yes, it is sure he will leave.
