Nicolas Pepe Is Wanted By Many Clubs, Says Player's Agent Samir Khiat

Hotcake midfielder Nicolas Pepe’s agent Samir Khiat has revealed his client is wanted by many clubs in the game, but the best club for his progress will secure his signature.

The Ivorian winger has though been linked with Premier League club Arsenal as Lille president, Gerard Lopez previously disclosed Liverpool’s approach to sign the pacey winger.

However, the 24-year-old’s impressive season with Lille last term made PSG’s headcoach Thomas Tuchel describe him as a player having “a lot of quality with his speed and strength”.

And his agent, Khiat believes his client will move to a side that will help him develop his qualities.

“Nicolas is open to everything,” Khiat said. “The goal is to have him signed in the right place.

“PSG is a possibility. Tell you on 12 July that he will sign in Paris? I cannot. That would be lying to you.

“Today, all parties must be there. Whether it is Lille, the buying club and us. There are exchanges and discussions.

“He is wanted by many clubs. For him, the most important thing is to be desired and to go to the right club, the one in which he will play and continue his progression.”

After joining Lille from Angers in 2017 for £9 million, the Ivorian forward has impressed in his spell with the side as his recent performances have attracted interest from many potential suitors.

Pepe in his first season at the Stade Pierre Mauroy scored 14 goals with five assists in thirty-eight Ligue 1 games while he registered 23 goals and twelve assists in forty-one appearances in the 2018/19 season.

The 24-year-old who naturally plays as a right-winger can also operate as a centre-forward or behind the striker, a quality Jurgen Klopp would need to augment his side in the coming season.
