Arsenal seals £72m deal for Lille's Pepe
Arsenal announced the signing of Lille forward Nicolas Pepe in a club-record deal reported to be worth £72million (£80m).
Pepe was linked with Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli and Champions League-winner Liverpool after a breakthrough 2018-2019 season.
The Ivory Coast attacker scored 22 Ligue 1 goals last season and supplied 11 assists to catch the eye of Europe's elite clubs.
But it is Arsenal which landed the 24 year-old, who eclipses Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as the club's record signing.
