Crystal Palace, Everton and Newcastle all hold an interest in Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe ahead of the January window.
That’s according to reports from France (Jeunes Footeux), and, as to be expected, a number of Palace fans have been reacting to the links on social media.
Arsenal signed Pepe in a deal worth £72m back in 2019 when they were heavily linked with a move for Wilfried Zaha. Since then, the right-winger has made 98 appearances for the Gunners, scoring 25 times and registering 18 assists.
He’s been in and out of Mikel Arteta’s side during the current campaign, and according to the reports in France, the Eagles are looking to take advantage of the player’s situation at the Emirates, with a deal in the January transfer window.
The outlet claims that a transfer could be a loan with an option to buy in the summer, with Everton and Newcastle also name-checked.
