Nicolas Pepe "open to everything" this summer

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.
