Ranking The Best Football Transfers In Europe During Summer 2019/20
12. Nicolas Pepe - Arsenal
While Arsenal's defence has been the main worry for their fans, last season also proved that they really lacked talented wide-men to provide for the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette. This is why their purchase of Lille winger, Nicolas Pepe, is a fantastic coup for the club.
The Ivory Coast international was sensational last season for the French side, scoring 23 goals and making 11 assists and helping them to second in the Ligue 1. The 26-year old has plenty of pace, dribbling ability and a solid eye for goal. What Arsenal fans will be most enthused by is that he also does his defensive duties properly, which isn't something many of them are used to seeing these days.
Although the North London side are going to spread his £72 million transfer fee over a number of years, there's still a few questions as to whether or not he can handle the Premier League, However, if he can continue his form from last season, then the Gunners might have one of the dangerous wide men in Europe on their books.
