Ricardo Pepi is starting to make a name for himself in the Netherlands, where he is stacking goals for PSV Eindhoven. The young 21-year-old American striker arouses the desire of big Ligue 1 clubs.
This name means nothing to you, perhaps nothing, but Ricardo Pepi undoubtedly deserves to be known. At the age of 21, the young American striker has established himself as one of the best attackers in the Netherlands with PSV Eindhoven. Already the author of 10 goals and 2 assists in 15 Eredivisie matches this season, the man who has 33 caps with the United States is considered one of the most promising attackers playing in Europe. Recruited by PSV Eindhoven from Augsburg for 11 million euros a year and a half ago, the Texas native should not stay long in the Netherlands.
His profile is already of interest to many European clubs, particularly in France. According to information from Ryan Tolmich, at least one club in the top 5 of Ligue 1 is very keen to bring in Ricardo Pepi next summer. PSG, OM, Monaco, Lille and OL are cited by the Goal journalist, who explains that it would not be surprising to see Ricardo Pepi arrive in Ligue 1 in the coming months. At first glance, the Marseille and Lyon tracks are not the most credible because the two Olympics are already well armed in attack with Wahi, Maupay, Mikautadze and Lacazette.
An offer from a Ligue 1 big name for Pepi?
PSG, focused on recruiting post-training players, could be a credible avenue for Ricardo Pepi, particularly in the event of the departure of Randal Kolo Muani, in the same way as Monaco, which is desperately looking for an effective new team. Lille for its part is well armed… for the moment, because the Mastiffs risk losing Jonathan David next summer and the prospect of the American striker could be credible in order to compensate for the potential departure of the northern top scorer. Whatever the case, Ricardo Pepi has not finished making a name for himself given his performances in the Netherlands and it is probably not only in Ligue 1 that we are looking closely at his lightning progress.
