Multiple La Liga clubs chasing Arsenal’s forgotten man
|Lucas Perez is being chased by multiple La Liga clubs according to The Independent.
The 28-year-old forward has found it hard to make an impact this season following his £17 million move last summer and is keen to return to Spain. Although Perez has shown some impressive glimpses, he has only managed two Premier League starts, while mostly playing out on the wing. Moreover, following reports that Perez had become angered by his lack of game time, the Spaniard was linked with a return to Deportivo La Coruna, while Everton were also interested. Now, Espanyol, Valencia and Villareal have all joined the race for the forward.
A move away, permanent or loan looks set to be on the cards this summer, with Perez admitting his frustration over this season.
“This season has been difficult because I think I’ve deserved to play more”
“I may not have done as well as others, but if they’d have given me more minutes I’d have produced better numbers: more goals and more assists.”
