Nicolas Pepe is on the brink of sealing his sensational £72million transfer to Arsenal from Lille after a video emerged online of him donning his new colors.
Arsenal is set to announce their club-record transfer of the Ivory Coast international imminently as they continue to splash the cash before the start of the 2019-20 Premier League season.
And on Tuesday evening, a leaked video emerged on social media of Pepe wearing the new Adidas home strip while he pats the Arsenal badge.
The 24-year-old is set to become the north London outfit’s fourth signing of the summer, joining Dani Ceballos (loan), William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli.
The pacey and powerful winger touched down in London early on Tuesday morning for his medical and is expected to sign off on a five-year deal with the Gunners.
Pepe showed up at the club’s London Colney training complex for the medical already with a bag in his hand emblazoned with the Arsenal badge and stuffed full of club merchandise.
He then went on a tour around north London, the area he will shortly be calling home.
As reported by Sportsmail earlier this week, Arsenal will be given an extraordinary five years to pay the £72m fee, paying the French club just £20m up front in order to keep within their budget.
