Italian Serie A club Inter Milan have drawn the first blood in the race to sign highly rated Lille winger Nicolas Pepe according to the latest reports emanating from the media in the United Kingdom.

Ivorian international Pepe is one of the most exciting prospects on the European football scene.

Nicolas Pepe was in superb form for Lille during the just concluded season in the top flight of French football.

The Ivorian attacker scored 23 goals in all competitions for Lille with 22 of those goals coming in the league alone.

He also provided 11 assists in the league in addition to his goals.
