The Ivorian has enjoyed a fantastic start to the season with Lille having scored four goals and assisted three in five matches. Lille president Gerard Lopez has now confirmed that the La Liga giants are amongst a host of clubs interested in the 23-year-old. "I hope he stays at least one more season.” Pepe joined Lille last season from Angers and scored 13 goals and registered four assists in his debut season. Lyon came close to signing the player this summer but instead decided to snap up Celtic’s Moussa Dembele. Arsenal are keen to sign a wide player and Le10 Sport claim they are monitoring Pepe closely.
