Arsenal have signed Ivory Coast winger Nicolas Pepe from Lille for a club record fee of 72 million pounds.

The 24‑year‑old has signed a five‑year contract at Emirates Stadium after having a medical.

Pepe scored 35 goals in 74 Ligue 1 appearances for Lille, who he joined from Angers in 2017.

He becomes the fourth most expensive signing in Premier League history after Manchester United duo Paul Pogba (£89m) and Romelu Lukaku (£75m), and Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk (£75m).
