Premier League rivals to sign Nicolas Pepe?

Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe could be a potential target for Premier League rivals Everton this summer, journalist Pete O'Rourke claims.

The Ivorian has been with the Gunners for the past three seasons, but he has yet to establish himself as a regular starter with the club.

Pepe played second fiddle to Bukayo Saka on the right wing throughout last term, and he is now said to be eyeing a fresh challenge.

Leeds United were linked with a loan move for him earlier this month, and O'Rourke cites that Everton could also consider a move.

The Merseyside outfit sold Richarlison to Tottenham Hotspur recently, and it is suggested that Frank Lampard could attempt to pursue Pepe.

The Toffees are likely to propose a season-long loan with an option to buy, but it remains to be seen whether the Gunners will accept this.

With two years left on his contract, the north London giants could be willing to offload him on a permanent basis before the summer deadline.
