Lucas Perez to Arsenal: Latest Transfer Details, Comments and Reaction

Arsenal have signed Deportivo La Coruna striker Lucas Perez, bringing an end to the Gunners' search for striking reinforcements.

The Gunners announced the deal on Tuesday, per their official website, and manager Arsene Wenger said: "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."

Sky Sports' Michael Kelleher reported the fee to be £17.1 million, with Arsenal meeting his buyout clause.

Perez has left Deportivo after two seasons and will be hoping to emulate his form from last year.
