Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea transfer target Nicolas Pepe to reveal next club after May 5
Lille winger wants to remain fully focused on upcoming Ligue 1 clash with Lyon, with winner set to seal second place in table
NICOLAS PEPE will reportedly reveal the destination of his next club after May 5.
Lille’s superstar winger is the toast of Europe after a devastating Ligue 1 season which has seen him score 19 goals and assist a further 11 in just 33 games.
Manchester United are believed to be interested in the 24-year-old.
While Chelsea are looking at Pepe as a possible replacement for Eden Hazard.
Arsenal are said to been keeping tabs on the Ivory Coast international as well.
But L’Equipe claims Pepe won’t make a decision on his future until after May 5.
That’s the date of Lille’s crunch league clash with Lyon.
The winner is likely to finish second behind Paris Saint-Germain.
And Pepe is remaining fully focused on the clash before calling a press conference to confirm his new club.
It’s believed Bayern Munich are favourites to sign Pepe after the star’s agent name-dropped the Germans earlier this week.
