West Ham forward will be looking for a chance against Tottenham this evening.
West Ham take on Tottenham Hotspur this evening aiming to get one back on their rivals after a recent Premier League defeat.
A win in the Carabao Cup would be crushing for Tottenham at this particular moment, ending one of their most realistic chances to win silverware.
One player looking to provide the spark in attack for the Hammers will be summer signing Lucas Perez, who is hoping to get a chance if Marko Arnautovic does not recover from illness which kept him out of the Leicester game at the weekend.
West Ham bought Perez from Arsenal in the summer after two frustrating years at The Emirates.
Many Arsenal fans were sad to see him go, lambasting the decision.
They will be smiling if Perez can play a prominent role in dumping Tottenham out of the cup.
Used sparingly by West Ham so far, this would be a game for the Spaniard to become a hero for his new club’s fans.
During his time in English football so far, the former Deportivo star has never played against Tottenham.
With that in mind, he could be West Ham’s secret weapon this evening.
