Lille striker Nicolas Pepe's agent confirms that his client is "open to everything" this summer amid reports of interest from Manchester United and Arsenal.

Lille striker Nicolas Pepe's agent has confirmed that his client is "open to everything" this summer amid reported interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United.

The 24-year-old enjoyed a remarkable season with Lille during which he scored 22 goals in Ligue 1 and piqued the interest of several top clubs.

Pepe is expected to leave Lille this summer if potential suitors meet the club's £60m valuation of the Frenchman.

When asked about his client's future, agent Samir Khiat told French TV show L'Equipe Mercato: "Nicolas is open to everything.

"The aim is for him to sign in the right place. PSG is a possibility. Today, all parties need to reach an agreement. There are exchanges and discussions.

"He is wanted by a considerable number of clubs. For him the most important thing is to be wanted and to go to a good club in which he will play and continue to progress."

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is in the market for a number nine as Romelu Lukaku draws closer to completing a move to Inter Milan.

PSG, on the other hand, will make an approach for Pepe if either Neymar - heavily linked with a return to Barcelona - or Kylian Mbappe depart the Parc des Princes this summer.
