<p>The 24-year-old scored 22 goals in Ligue 1 last year and is now on the verge of completing a move to the Emirates Stadium, PA understands.</p>
<p>Pepe had been previously linked with the likes of Manchester United and Napoli but the Gunners emerged as somewhat surprise frontrunners over the weekend.</p>

<p>The Ivory Coast International started his professional career with Angers and has shone since joining Lille in 2017.</p>
<p>Any deal is expected to include Arsenal paying in installments while it is believed the overall fee will eclipse Arsenal’s previous record – £55million for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January 2018.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Lille have been linked with Warford’s Dodi Lukebakio as a replacement for Pepe.</p>

<p>Europa League finalists Arsenal have made three signings so far this summer.</p>
<p>Striker Gabriel Martinelli, 18, joined earlier in the window before a season-long loan deal for Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos was announced last week.</p>
<p>The signing of William Saliba from St Etienne was confirmed just hours after Ceballos but the 18-year-old France youth international will spend the next season back on loan at the Ligue 1 outfit.</p>
