Report: Unai Emery gets told to pay £72million to sign his transfer target

The January transfer window is around the corner and the Arsenal fans have already demanded for new signings from Unai Emery since their team has not been impressive in the last three matches. The gunners are currently out of the Carabao Cup, fifth on the Premier League table, yet to play FA Cup and through to the UEFA Europa League round of 32.

Arsenal’s target this season is to finish in the Premier League top four and they currently haven’t been able to get in those UEFA Champions League spots so Unai Emery will be looking to bring in a new player. Most football analysts say that the gunners need a winger and it’s currently reported that Unai Emery wants to bring Lille star Nicolas Pepe to the Emirates Stadium.

Nicolas Pepe has been impressive in the French Ligue one and most of the Arsenal fans hope to see Unai Emery convince him to come to Arsenal in the winter transfer window. Lille have told all the interested clubs the amount needed to sign Nicolas Pepe and it’s much money for the gunners since they always have a low-budget.

Lille Chief Luis Campos said in an interview with Telefoot on Sunday that they will only let go of Nicolas Pepe if a club pays £72million and also manages to convince the player.

So to those interested clubs including Arsenal, Lille has successfully given them a green light and Nicolas Pepe would certainly join Unai Emery’s team because Arsenal is one of the most famous football clubs in the world. So the gooners will now need to wait and hope that the club makes a bid in the transfer window.
