West Ham are reportedly close to securing a €5m deal to sign Arsenal outcast Lucas Pérez.

Pérez pent last season on loan at Deportivo but managed just eight goals in 35 appearances before returning to North London this summer.

According to the Mirror, the 29-year-old would prefer to stay in London which suits West Ham who want backup for Marko Arnautović.

Reports in Portugal have suggested that a deal was in the works with Sporting Lisbon, while stories in England state that Pérez remains committed to forcing his way into Unai Emery’s plans.

Emery has made no attacking signings since becoming Arsenal manager this summer, as he inherited a side containing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette, Danny Welbeck, Alex Iwobi and Eddie Nketiah.
