The Galician side remain interested in landing the striker, but the president admitted they have little chance in tempting the Gunners into a sale
Arsenal forward Lucas Perez remains a transfer target for Deportivo La Coruna but the La Liga club's president says the chances of signing him are "remote".
The 28-year-old moved to the Emirates Stadium last year from Depor for a reported €20million but he has struggled to force his way into manager Arsene Wenger's plans.
Perez was left off Arsenal's squad for their pre-season tour of Australia and China, prompting speculation of a move away from the club, with the player said to be eager for regular first-team football to bolster his chances of making Spain's World Cup squad next year.
