Deportivo La Coruna are betting on the will of Newcastle United target Lucas Perez and the rapidly closing transfer window in their pursuit of the Arsenal striker.
Perez is desperate to leave Arsenal after just one year because of the lack of playing time opportunities he received under Arsene Wenger last season.
Rafael Benitez has expressed an interest in signing the Arsenal striker and admits that he has spoken to Wenger, but Deportivo are also confident of getting back their former star.
He left the Spanish outfit for Arsenal last summer and Deportivo have confirmed that they are willing to fight until the end to take Perez back to Spain this month.
And according to Spanish daily AS, the Spanish outfit are depending on the will of the player and the very little time that is left in the transfer window to snap up their target.
