Newcastle United have been linked with Angers winger Nicolas Pepe.
Newcastle United have once again been linked with Nicolas Pepe in L’Equipe, ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Angers forward has been on Newcastle’s wishlist for some time, and was first linked in January (Daily Mail).
The Magpies failed to complete a deal for the 21-year-old at that time, but Rafael Benitez has kept a keen interest in Pepe.
Newcastle have had scouts at a number of Angers matches this season, as they have kept tabs on the forward.
And the Magpies are now said to be lining up a bid for the promising youngster.
Watford are also interested in signing Pepe, as are Lyon.
Newcastle are known to be looking to make attacking additions, as Benitez looks to increase his side’s goalscoring threat.
Pepe scored three goals in 33 Ligue 1 appearances this season, and helped Angers finish in 12th place.
