Lille's Nicolas Pepe, linked with the likes of Arsenal and Barcelona in recent weeks, will be allowed to leave the French club later this year if the right offer is made.

Lille sporting director Luis Campos has revealed that the club will cash in on Nicolas Pepe this summer if Arsenal or Barcelona meet his valuation.

The 23-year-old has earned links with a move to both clubs in recent weeks on the back of an impressive season-and-a-half spell with the French side.

Pepe, also rumoured to be on the radars of Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, has netted 29 goals in 62 Ligue 1 matches since the start of the last campaign.

Lille are open to offers for the Ivory Coast international, who is believed to be valued at £72m.

"We are not a rich club," Campos told Telefoot. "It means that if a really good proposal comes in for Pepe, we have to sell him."

Only Paris Saint-Germain pair Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani have more goals to their names in Ligue 1 this term.
