# Crystal Palace: Fans react to Nicolas Pepe links

**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)](https://www.jeunesfooteux.com/Arsenal-Nicolas-Pepe-sur-le-depart-Plusieurs-formations-de-Premier-League-interessees_a50143.html), 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](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/zaha-arsenal-picked-72m-pepe-over-me/pjqjv7rag6o4158oruf0d2q0k) with a move for Wilfried Zaha. Since then, the right-winger has made [98](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nicolas-pepe/leistungsdaten/spieler/343052) appearances for the Gunners, scoring [25](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nicolas-pepe/leistungsdaten/spieler/343052) times and registering [18](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nicolas-pepe/leistungsdaten/spieler/343052) assists.

He’s been [in and out](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nicolas-pepe/leistungsdaten/spieler/343052) of Mikel Arteta’s side during the current campaign, and according to [the reports](https://www.jeunesfooteux.com/Arsenal-Nicolas-Pepe-sur-le-depart-Plusieurs-formations-de-Premier-League-interessees_a50143.html) 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.
