Reports emerged on Friday night suggesting that Arsenal are competing with Napoli for the signature of Nicolas Pepe, the highly talented and coveted Lille winger.

Gianluca Di Marzio broke the news on his website, news which has since been confirmed and expanded upon by ever-reliable BBC journalist David Ornstein, who claims a deal has been agreed for €80m (£71.8m) to be paid in instalments.
