Arsenal and Manchester City target Nicolas Pepe has put talk of a move on hold until the end of the season.
Winger Pepe has been one of the stars of the season for Lille, currently second in the French table.
The Ivorian has scored 12 goals and chipped in with five assists to attract attention from some of Europe's biggest clubs including the Premier League pair.
But he said: "To end the season with LOSC, for me that's for sure.
"As the president [Michel Seydoux] said, I decided to finish the season in Lille and, at the end of it, then we'll see.
"I am under contract until 2022. I have the idea to end this season in Lille and why not [secure] a European place? It would be beautiful."

let be sincere arsenal is still the same thing to the time of Mr Wenger in terms of spending saying arsenal and City are chasing a player seems as if we are deceiving the gunner's fans because when it comes to money they will surely pick race all they care about is PROFIT.

Also I think we need to reinforce our defence, which needs to be sturdy/sturdier than Liverpool's. Their lack of mistakes is the reason why they are in top position to win the epl. City need to also punish and take opportunities

As a city supporter I have to say we need some new kindling to start a new fire. I think he could be that igniter

How on earth is this young player, from Lille better than Iwobi and Mykthrian, Arsenal fans, we have to keep our best players and let competition prove who are the better players.

Why waste time signing for Arsenal when he will end up nowhere near the substitute bench because of TACTICAL reasons or he's better than Òźil?

I would like to see him in an Arsenal Jersey but this Arsenal I have to see it to believe it . All these rumours fly around having people all worked out until the transfer market is closed to realise it was all rumours .

He is a good player likes to cut inside and to play short passes and he also likes to dribble.Long shots are one of his strengths so is his defensive contribitions
