On July 27, 2019, Arsenal made a significant move in the transfer market by agreeing to sign Nicolas Pepe from Lille in a deal worth 80 million euros.
The 24-year-old Ivorian winger, known for his pace and technical ability, will join the Gunners after Lille accepted the proposal despite Napoli's initial interest.
Pepe's ability to operate on the right wing and cut in on his left foot makes him a valuable asset to Arsenal's squad, and his 23 goals for Lille last season only add to his appeal.
According to the BBC, the transfer is expected to be completed on Monday, with Arsenal agreeing to pay for Pepe in instalments due to their slim budget.
