Nicolas Pepe's true transfer value as Edu moves one step closer to Arsenal cash injection

The 27-year-old is expected to be named in the Ligue 1 outfit's squad for Wednesday's friendly which just so happens to be against Tottenham Hotspur as preparations continue for the restart of the domestic league across Europe following a six-week pause for the World Cup in Qatar.

This will be the first time Pepe has been back in the English capital for a game following his move to France towards the end of the summer transfer window as Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta felt regular first-team football was best for the Ivory Coast international who has struggled to live up to his £72m price-tag.
