While Perez was happy at Deportivo, it is claimed he is relishing the chance to test his skills in both the Premier League and the Champions League.

Arsenal have been on the lookout for a new striker and boss Wenger has decided that Perez, who hit the back of the net 17 times for Deportivo last season, fits the bill.
