Arsenal have just confirmed the signing of the Deportivo La Coruna forward Lucas Perez.
No actual specifics of the deal are available at this time, however here are some words from Gunners boss Arsene Wenger to the club’s official website.
“He’s not only a goalscorer, he’s a guy who combines well with partners, who can give a final ball and makes good runs. He’s got a good eye for goal and had an outstanding season last year.”
The 27-year-old enjoyed a prolific season in La Liga in 2015/16. He scored 19 goals in all competitions, including 17 in the league. This included a spell when he scored seven goals in seven successive games, matching the record of former Brazilian striker Bebeto. He also scored in the opening game of this La Liga campaign, against Eibar.
