Arsenal are reportedly set to keep Lucas Perez at the club.
Arsenal fans on Twitter are delighted about the prospect of seeing Lucas Perez back at the Emirates Stadium next season.
The Spanish striker spent last season on loan at Deportivo La Coruna after former Gunners boss Arsene Wenger deemed him surplus to requirements in North London.
However, Unai Emery, Wenger’s successor, is said to be a fan of his compatriot and, according to El Desmarque, the former Paris Saint-Germain boss wants Perez back at Arsenal.
The 29-year-old joined Arsenal in the summer of 2016 for £17 million and despite struggling for regular football under Wenger, still managed a Champions League hat-trick.
And fans of the Emirates club are excited about the possibility of seeing him back in time for next season.
Arsenal fans must be realistic in their expectations, however. If Perez struggled to play when Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud were Wenger’s favoured strikers, then he will surely have a fight on his hands to play more regularly than Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.
