Arsenal have sold Lucas Perez to West Ham.
West Ham completed a deal earlier on deadline day to sign Arsenal forward Lucas Perez.

He impressed particularly in his first few months for the Gunners, which saw him score a hat-trick in the Champions League.
The Mirror report West Ham have paid just £4 million for the forward.
