Arsenal fans are hailing Raul Sanllehi after David Ornstein confirmed Arsenal had found an agreement with Lille for the transfer of Nicolas Pepe.
Despite French media reports claiming that a deal had been agreed between the two clubs for the €80m transfer of Nicolas Pepe, the most respected journalists in Britain were still claiming there was nothing to the rumours.
That all changed on Saturday morning when the Ornacle spoke:
Arsenal have reached an agreement with Lille to sign Ivory Coast winger Nicolas Pepe for ~€80m, paid by instalments to fit #AFC budget. 5yr deal, agent agreement still needed but set to be closed in next 24/48hrs. Napoli also have agreement with #LOSC but agent rejected proposal

Cue mass hysteria, and a load of Arsenal fans rushing to demand Raul Sanllehi gets a statue:
If Arsenal really sign Ceballos, Saliba, Pepe and Tierney on a £40m budget then Raul Sanllehi must be knighted!

Honestly, if we do pull off a transfer window of Martinelli, Ceballos, Saliba, Tierney, Nicolas Pépé and a central back I might have to do a whole thread to explain how Raul Sanllehí has pulled a masterclass.

If Arsenal really leaked it to the media that we only had £45m to spend just so we could work on a deal for Nicolas Pépé without our rivals thinking it was even a possibility, then we might as well rename the club Raul Sanllehi Club de Football if the deal materializes.
