Newcastle United are after the Arsenal striker this summer.
According to The Chronicle, Lucas Perez is willing to speak to Newcastle United about a move to St James’s Park this summer.
The Arsenal striker is linked with a switch to Newcastle and, according to The Evening Standard, the Gunners are asking for a little over £13 million for his services.
Perez, a £17 million signing from Deportivo La Coruna 12 months ago, started only 11 games under Arsene Wenger but still managed seven goals – including a hat-trick in the Champions League against FC Basel.
And The Chronicle have reported that the Spanish forward is willing to discuss a switch to the Magpies, should Arsenal accept a bid for him.
Wenger has signed Alexandre Lacazette this summer in a move which leaves Perez behind the Frenchman, Olivier Giroud, Alexis Sanchez and Danny Welbeck as potential striking options.
Newcastle need another goalscorer, with Dwight Gayle and Aleksandar Mitrovic rather unproven as Premier League talismen.
