Lille president Gerard Lopez has said that Nicolas Pepe will leave Les Dogues in this summer's transfer window.
Pepe has been in impressive form for Lille during the 2018-19 campaign, finding the back of the net on 18 occasions and contributing 11 assists in 31 Ligue 1 appearances.
Arsenal have been strongly linked with a move for the Ivory Coast international this summer, and Lopez has now confirmed that the in-demand attacker will be available ahead of the 2019-2020 season.
"It's certain he will leave. He's in a price range that we cannot ignore anymore. There's a career choice for him to make, I think he'll have the choice to leave," Lopez told Telefoot.
Bayern Munich have also been credited with an interest in Pepe, who is reportedly valued at £68.8m by his French club.
