Arsenal striker Perez is reportedly closing in on a move to West Ham.
The 29-year-old is nearing a transfer and ending his two-year nightmare in north London, which saw him manage just 21 league and cup appearances – in which he scored seven and created five.
Perez was bought for £17million from Deportivo La Coruna by Arsene Wenger in the summer of 2016, but with competition from the likes of Alexandre Lacazette, Danny Welbeck and Olivier Giroud, Perez found the going tough.
Last summer, Perez was loaned back to Deportivo but failed to prevent his old side from suffering relegation from La Liga despite scoring nine goals and creating another eight throughout the campaign.
Now, Goal report that the Spaniard is putting the final touches on a move to West Ham, as Manuel Pellegrini closes in on another signing after landing the likes of Jack Wilshere, Andriy Yarmolenko and Felipe Anderson.
Perez has a contract at Arsenal until the summer of 2020, but he is now set to cut his four-year contract at Arsenal in half by following Wilshere to the London Stadium in a move worth £5million (Evening Standard).
