Lucas Perez to Arsenal: Imminent Gunners signing lands at Heathrow Airport with striker set to be officially unveiled
The £17m Spaniard will be available for selection after the international break after he completes his move
LUCAS PEREZ has landed at Heathrow Airport with the striker set to be unveiled by Arsenal.
The £17million Spaniard be available for selection after the international break after he completes his move from Deportivo.
The quick Perez, 27, netted 17 La Liga goals for struggling Deportivo last season, and his firepower will be badly needed at the Gunners.
Manager Arsene Wenger confirmed last week that both Perez and Valencia’s £35m German defender Shkodran Mustafi had had medicals and the announcement of the deals will be imminent.
Wenger said: “We have bought two players – Mustafi and Perez. They will integrate into the team now and we will help them join the squad.
“We had to work very hard to get the signings done. We have not got any plans for anyone else now.”
Will Perez make a visit to his dad’s octopus stand in Camden Market on the way?
