A deal has been agreed and talks are on going. The fee is believed to be around £68m. Expecting this one to be done very soon. Would be a fantastic signing for Liverpool. #LFC 488 8:08 AM - Jul 10, 2019 182 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy Not sure how reliable this bloke is? Never heard of him tbh
LFCMadLad Posted July 10, 2019 Author Posted July 10, 2019 Dominic King ✔@DominicKing_DM Also worth categorically saying now that Liverpool have absolutely no interest in Nicolas Pepe. For all the stories that are coming from the continent, it is not a deal that will be happening. 259 6:02 PM - Jul 10, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 176 people are talking about this

No one had a clue about Fabinho last year until he signed. Liverpool had dropped their interest in Alisson at one point too.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 10, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 10, 2019 We've been linked with him today for £60m. Don't think we're realistically in contention with the other clubs that have apparently shown an interest, and I'm still not comfortable with us spending that much money on one player even if there is any truth to it. I expect it's more a case of the media trying to turn a dumb rumour into a bigger story so they can try and push an Everton v Liverpool transfer narrative for a few extra clicks.

Everton has expressed an interest in signing Lille forward Nicolas Pepe. The 24-year-old Ivory Coast international would cost the Toffees a club record fee of about £58.5m. (Telegraph)
Chaaay AFC Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Not entirely sure if this is true, but this has gained loads of traction over the past two days. Napoli, Inter Milan, Liverpool and Arsenal were apparently the 4 clubs really in for Pepe. I can only imagine Liverpool can't guarenteed him game time or don't really want to pay that sort of fee for a non-guarenteed starter. Seems we have blown Napoli out the water in terms of agent fees and personal terms. Would be a massive coup, Pepe excites me and he is still only 23. Rumours of the fee being around £70m.
6666 Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Well this was all very sudden... won't believe it until I see it confirmed. Ornstein is usually very reliable though.
Rick Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Much better decision from Arsenal than Zaha. Now all you need is 3 defenders
Chaaay AFC Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Wow incredible how quickly this has moved. Would be an incredible signing for the squad, what a major coup this will be.
...Dan Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 I've been following this and trying not to get my hopes up, but now I'm at the point where if it doesn't happen I'm gonna be pissed off. Would be an incredible signing.
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted July 27, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 27, 2019 Nicolas Pepe: Arsenal agree on £72m deal for Lille winger Arsenal has reached an agreement with French club Lille to sign Ivory Coast winger Nicolas Pepe in a deal worth 80m euros (£72m). The Gunners will pay for the 24-year-old via a series of instalments that suit their restricted budget for this summer. An agreement between Arsenal and Pepe's representatives still needs to be finalised. But the transfer is expected to be completed in the next 24 to 48 hours. Italian side Napoli also met Lille's asking price, but their proposal was rejected by the player's camp. Pepe tends to operate on the right-wing and cut in on to his left foot, but can also be used as a striker in a 4-4-2 formation. He scored 23 goals for Lille last season and satisfies Arsenal's need for a wide player with pace and high technical ability. Arsenal offered £40m for Crystal Palace's Ivory Coast winger Wilfried Zahaearlier this month, but their Premier League rivals value the player at about £80m. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49137976
Danny Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 I don't get this sudden fascination with Arsenal paying in installments, this is how most transfers are paid. It's only been recently when PSG signed Neymar that more upfront fees have been demanded

There is nothing wrong with instalments if they are spread over two or three years and you get a decent sum upfront.

Honey Honey Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Rafa wanted this lad last summer. We tried to low ball with an €8m offer
Administrator Stan Posted July 28, 2019 Administrator Posted July 28, 2019 Pepe is a big signing for Arsenal. Very highly rated. Defence still needs some work though...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted July 29, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 29, 2019 Lille winger Nicolas Pepe, 24, will complete his £72m transfer to Arsenal on Tuesday or Wednesday - as long as French champions Paris St-Germain do not try to make a late move. (La Voix Du Nord)

Danny Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Arsenal have a good attack as it is, I don’t know a lot about Pepe but he looks good from highlights and has good stats so this could be a step up for them in that respect. But fuck me Arsenal need a quality centre back
Panna King Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Talk about Agent fees, apparently Arsenal are paying Pepe's agent 14 million for this.
