Crystal Palace interested in signing Nicolas Pepe?

Crystal Palace have reportedly expressed an interest in making an audacious move for Arsenal forward Nicolas Pepe in the January transfer window.

The 26-year-old winger has only started five times this season in the English top flight, with just one assist under his belt and a potential move at the beginning of 2022 is now being discussed.

According to Jeunes Footeux, the Eagles are interested in securing Pepe’s services on a loan deal until the end of the season.

The Ivorian, who is under contract with the Gunners until the summer of 2024, is currently on a wage of £140,000 per week.

He has struggled to cement his place as a first-team regular since his £72 million arrival from Lille.

Crystal Palace currently sit 10th in the Premier League table, five points behind Arsenal after the opening 11 fixtures.
