Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly set to go head-to-head to sign FC Porto's highly-rated winger Pepe. The 25-year-old has also attracted interest from Italian giants Juventus ahead of the January transfer window.
The Gunners dipped into the Portuguese market in the summer to lure Fabio Vieira from Porto for £34million after the 22-year-old was linked with a move to one of Europe's biggest clubs. The Portugal Under-21 international has shown glimpses of his ability in north London but has initially struggled to make the adaptation to English football.
Mikel Arteta's side could now revisit Porto's quality crop of players in January, but face competition. Chelsea are preparing for a busy winter transfer window themselves after spending over £270million in Todd Boehly's first window at the club.
