Lille president Gerard Lopez: Arsenal did not overpay for Nicolas Pepe

Gerard Lopez
    The new Lille's president Gerard Lopez said he doesn't think that Nicolas Pepe joining Arsenal was a reason why the Gunners head of football Raul Sanllehi has decided to leave the club.

    Raul Sanllehi left Arsenal over the weekend after two-and-a-half years at the Club, and has been replaced by former managing director Vinai Venkatesham - with technical director Edu and head coach Mikel Arteta now heading up their footballing and recruitment direction.

    Ivory Coast international Pepe, 25, arrived at Arsenal from Lille in a club-record £72m deal last August.

    Lille have now signed Jonathan David who scored 18 goals in the Belgian top flight last year and was attracting interest from Arsenal and Manchester United for £27m from Gent.
