Arsenal currently have four strikers playing in the first team. Everton has been linked with three of them. The most recent link with an Arsenal striker involves Lucas Perez, a player that Arsene Wenger purchased but apparently have no plans for him, which looks absurd as the player impressed when given the opportunity last season.
Bids from as many as 7 clubs gone in for Perez – Depor & Newcastle as well as Everton, Bayer Leverkusen, Valencia, Levante & Galatasaray.
Lucas Perez, Deportivo 15-16. Good all-around output in the stats. Pacey striker, and a good finisher on the break.
In 136 Champions League minutes last season, Perez scored 3 goals and 2 assists, and bagged a Premier League goal even though Wenger spread his 265 league minutes across ten appearances (one start).
Being originally from A Coruna, the player probably wants to go home and return to Deportivo, but if he doesn’t, he’s good enough to start for Everton as it is currently made up.
