Arsenal misfit Nicolas Pepe is closing in on an exit, with Nice ready to take the Ivorian international on loan for the season.
The French side have been busy in the transfer window already, with former Gunners star Aaron Ramsey among the new recruits. Kasper Schmeichel has also joined from Leicester City as the Ligue 1 outfit look to rebuild under returning manager Lucien Favre.
Pepe looks to be next in line, three years after his club-record move to north London. The player's agent was at Nice's stadium over the weekend for the game against Strasbourg on Sunday, as Favre's team made it two draws from two league games.
