Lille striker Nicolas Pepe has agreed to join Arsenal.
That's according to family friends at home in Ivory Coast.
A confidant told local outlet Sport Mania: "After dismissing several clubs, Nicolas (Pepe) had the choice between Napoli and Arsenal.
"I will not lie to you: a total agreement was almost reached with Napoli.
"But Arsenal has been more convincing at the last word, both financially and at the level of the sporting project."
Pepe could be in London tomorrow for a Gunners medical.
