Deportivo expect to miss out on Arsenal forward Lucas Perez

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.
