NICOLAS PEPE has been pictured leaving Arsenal's training ground having completed his medical with the North Londoners.
The Ivorian winger, 24, was snapped as he left the Gunners' multi-million pound Colney training complex.
Pepe will become Arsenal's all time record signing as his £72m move edges closer.
The Ivorian international arrived in London for his medical this morning and this latest development suggests a confirmation announcement is imminent.
Arsenal have pulled off a huge financial coup having convinced Lille to accept just £20m of the transfer fee upfront and the remaining £52m in instalments over the next five years.
This means the North Londoners are paying just 28 per cent of the eye-watering fee upfront.
