Lucas Perez is poised to join West Ham United from Arsenal.

The Spanish striker is out of favour at the Gunners and spent last season back in Spain on loan at Deportivo La Coruna.




Several sides have shown an interest in Perez this summer, including Italian Serie A sides Lazio and Frosinone.

But the striker is set to have another crack at the Premier League as, according to Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport, he is now set to sign for West Ham.
 


Perez will play under former Real Madrid boss Manuel Pellegrini at the London Stadium as he looks to make the grade in the Premier League.

The Hammers have backed Pellegrini in the transfer market so far this summer and their recruitment shows no sign of slowing up.

Perez will hope to be handed chances to impress at West Ham, having been denied them at Arsenal.

He suffered relegation with Deportivo La Coruna last term.
