Nicolas Pepe is in London to undergo a medical and finalise personal terms ahead of his transfer to Arsenal from Lille.
Arsenal have already agreed a £72m transfer fee with the Ligue 1 side.
The 24-year-old is expected to be announced as the Gunners’ fourth summer signing this week, following forward Gabriel Martinelli, midfielder Dani Ceballos, who joined on a season-long loan from Real Madrid, and defender William Saliba, who was signed from St Etienne for £27m and immediately loaned back to the Ligue 1 side.
Pepe scored 22 goals in Ligue 1 last season, second only to Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe, while also providing 11 assists, also the second most in the division, as Lille finished runners-up to PSG.
