Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly in pursuit of Nicolas Pepe.
Nicolas Pepe is following in Eden Hazard’s footsteps at Lille.
The winger has netted times this season, and now he could be heading to the Premier League.
The Times reported earlier this season that Tottenham want to sign Pepe.
Pepe would require considerable investment from Spurs. He could just be worth it.
Tottenham tried and failed to sign Hazard in 2012. They are still in need of an attacker to support striker Harry Kane.
Erik Lamela and Lucas Moura are inconsistent and do not have starting roles.
There is an opportunity for a top winger like Pepe to sign and jump ahead of them in the queue.
Spurs are close to huge success. One of the things holding them back is a lack of investment.
That’s why moving for a goalscoring winger like Pepe is so essential.
Sure, Tottenham have been burned before signing Ligue 1 attackers. Clinton N’Jie and Georges-Kevin N’Koudou.
Neither had record like Pepe, who also has eight assists this season.
Across the past two seasons he has netted 30 goals, and Lille won’t be able to hold onto him much longer.
He could be the signing who tips Tottenham over the edge to win silverware.
