Pepe knows Ligue 1 well, having shone there with Lille in the 2018/19 season before his move to Arsenal.
The Ivorian racked up 23 goals and 12 assists in all competitions that year, sparking a frantic transfer tussle which had most of Europe's elite interested in signing him.
It was Arsenal who won the race for his signature, paying a club-record £72m to lure Pepe to the Emirates, but aside from some brief flashes of his quality, the 25-year-old has failed to live up to expectations and now finds himself returning to France to rebuild his reputation.
With space now in the squad, Arsenal hope to recruit a new forward and are ready to step up their interest in Neto.
Wolves do not want to sell the 22-year-old but 90min understands that the player's representatives have made it clear that a move is possible this summer.
