Official: "Arsenal" buys N. Pepe for a record amount for the club.

London's "Arsenal" has shaken the market - they have invited one of the biggest stars of last season's "Ligue 1", Nicolas Pepe, to the team. The 24-year-old winger arrived in London on Monday, but the deal was officially confirmed only today. The promising African player will cost the "Arsenal" club a record amount - 80 million euros. The player himself has signed a five-year contract with the "Gunners." N. Pepe played for the "Lille" team since 2017. Last season, he stood out with his statistics - scoring 23 goals and making 12 assists in 41 games played. Before joining "Lille," the Ivorian national team player also played for the "Orleans" and "Angers" teams. N. Pepe became the fourth newcomer to the "Arsenal" team - during the offseason, the club also added Dani Ceballos, William Saliba, and Gabriel Martinelli.
