The Gunners will smash their transfer record to bring in the Ivory Coast international forward from Lille
Nicolas Pepe will arrive in England on Tuesday as his record-breaking move to Arsenal edges closer.
The Gunners have spent the past 48 hours locked in talks with Pepe’s representatives after agreeing a £72 million deal ($87m) with Lille for the 24-year-old attacker.
There are a few minor details still to be ironed out between both sides, but Pepe is scheduled to travel to England from France later today to put the finishing touches on his move and undergo his medical.
