Lille winger Nicolas Pepe says that he is open to a transfer to a high-profile club during the summer transfer window.

Nicolas Pepe has revealed that he will only entertain a transfer away from Lille during the summer.

The 23-year-old has established himself as one of the best players in Ligue 1 this season, with 12 goals and five assists coming from 19 appearances.

The Ivorian's form has resulted in speculation regarding his future, but it appears that Lille will retain his services until at least the end of the season.

Pepe told Le Voix du Nord: "For me, that's for sure. As the president has already said, my desire is to finish the season at Lille.

"I am under contract until 2022. My idea is to end this season in Lille and then, why not, leave for somewhere in Europe. It would be beautiful."

Arsenal and Barcelona have both been linked with a bid, although Lille have already set an asking price of £72m.
