Arsenal have agreed
a deal to sign Deportivo striker Lucas Perez.
Arsenal have met
Perez’s release clause of £17.1m.
Deportivo La Coruna
announced Perez had been withdrawn from their squad for the
trip to face Real
Betis in LaLiga on Friday night.
The club said in a
statement: “The striker Lucas Perez will not fly to Seville, with permission of
the club.”
Known simply as
Lucas, he is a late developer, having spent much of his early 20’s in the
Spanish lower leagues playing for Atletico Madrid’s junior team
He had loan spells
at Rayo Vallecano and Karpaty Lviv in Ukraine, but kick-started his career in
Greece with PAOK Thessaloniki.
He returned to Spain
on loan with Deportivo, and was such a success that they signed him on a
permanent deal last summer.
