Lucas Perez ‘wants to leave Arsenal at all costs’

Matt Stead

The agent of Arsenal striker Lucas Perez has confirmed that he wants to leave the club “at all costs” in the summer.

Perez joined the Gunners from Deportivo La Coruna for £17million, but has not been given enough of an opportunity to impress.

The Spaniard has scored six goals and assisted a further five in all competitions, but has been handed just eight starts this campaign.

As a result, the 28-year-old is looking to leave at the end of the season.

“He hasn’t received any offer yet,” Rodrigo Fernandez Llovelle told calciomercato.com.

“If Lucas leaves London – and he will leave because he’s had no chance with [Arsene] Wenger – he wants to go and play for a big club like Arsenal.

“Milan is a great club and he likes them very much, even if we’ve never talked with the Rossoneri hierarchy.

“Look, the truth is that Lucas wants to leave at all costs and is not happy at Arsenal, he hasn’t settled and hasn’t had a chance to play and show what he can do.

“No matter who is the manager in the future, we want to go. The player must have the chance to play.”
