Napoli are reportedly close to completing the signing of the much coveted Nicolas Pepe after agreeing terms with the Ivorian's representatives on Thursday.

Napoli are close to agreeing a deal for Lille forward Nicolas Pepe, according to a report.

The 24-year-old has been linked with a host of clubs this summer, including Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool.

According to the Daily Mail, however, it is Napoli that are going to get the deal done, with club chiefs having met with Pepe's representatives on Thursday.

Lille have been demanding £70m, but Napoli would instead prefer to pay a £45m fee and include attacker Adam Ounas in the deal to bring the overall value of the transfer closer to Lille's asking price.

Pepe scored 22 goals in Ligue 1 last season, with only PSG forward Kylian Mbappe netting more in the French top flight.
