Nicolás Pépé continues to surprise with his performances in Ligue 1. Barcelona are keeping a watchful eye over the promising youngster, though 'France Football' reports that Arsenal and Manchester United could sign the Lille attacker for around 30 million euros.

Nicolas Pépé is becoming a revelation in Ligue 1 this season. The young winger is standing out at Lille and has caught the eyes of several of Europe's big clubs.

Recently, 'Mundo Deportivo' reported that Barcelona wanted to bring in the French-Ivorian talent. The club's technical secretary, Eric Abidal, was following Pépé's situation very closely.

In just six Ligue 1 games, the 23-year-old attacker already has four goals and three assists. Lille, in addition, sit in second position with 13 points after last weekend's victory over Nantes.

According to 'France Football', two more of Europe's biggest teams have Pépé on their agenda. Said clubs are Arsenal and Manchester United, who could offer around 30 million euros for the player.

Both will provide tough competition for Barça in the race for his signature, whose days in Lille could be numbered.
