The Gunners have agreed a deal with Lille over Pepe worth up to £72m a club record but will pay the remaining £52m in instalments over five years. The Ivorian forward is expected to undergo a medical before the end of the week.
However, with the Gunners close to finalising a club-record £72m deal for Lille ace Nicolas Pepe, that has led the pathway clear for Everton to get Zaha whom they have joined racing to get him sign for the club.
The question is is this really what Arsenal need to make the coming season Trophy filled for them or will it just be another Trophyless season.
Arsenal also close in on bringing the experience of Khedira into the midfield, which is said to bring a good boost for the team.
Few days is left in the transfer window, Arsenal might still pull up some magic signing but its too early to decide.
