SEVILLA are interested in signing Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe, according to reports.
The Ivorian cost the Gunners £72million in 2019, but has slipped down the pecking order at the Emirates.
With Pepe now behind the likes of Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe, Gabriel Martinelli and Fabio Vieira, Arsenal are keen to sell him this summer.
Club chiefs know that they won't get anywhere near the £72m they paid for him and are hoping for offers around £21m.
According to local paper Diario de Sevilla, Pepe is of interest to Sevilla… but not at that price.
They claim that the LaLiga side have made initial contact with Arsenal over a deal worth around £15m plus add-ons.
