Lucas Perez’s agent says the striker is now happy to stay at Arsenal, despite saying the opposite just days earlier.
The 28-year-old has had a frustrating start with the Gunners, after impressing whenever used by Arsene Wenger but still looks to be out of favour with the French manager.
Perez has seven goals and three assists to his name so far this term, and has performed impressively both out on the wing or as a centre-forward and he has seemed to have made the transition of different leagues look easy after joining the club from La Liga side Deportivo La Coruna in the summer.
His agent Rodrigo Fernandez Llovelle stated that Perez wanted to leave the Emirates Stadium ‘at all costs’ on Monday, but has since silenced a possible exit for the striker.
“Like any professional, he wants to play,” Llovelle said.
“When one does not play he is not happy but we knew it would be difficult and it is a long contract.
“Lucas [Perez] has this contract with Arsenal and he wants to succeed there. No-one has spoken of a move.”
