The LOSC Lille star looks set to seal a move to Napoli, but why did clubs in England pass over the effective wideman?
After being linked with a move to some of the biggest sides in Europe in the last few months, Napoli appear primed to win the battle to sign Nicolas Pepe.
The potential big money move came to light on Friday morning, following Lille president Gerard Lopez‘s admission they’d agreed a fee with the Italian club for the winger.
"Napoli have satisfied our request of 80m Euros, now it will be up to the player to decide where to go, also on the basis of other proposals that his agents received from four clubs," Lopez told Tuttosport.
