Arsenal striker Lucas Perez to return to Deportivo La Coruna in summer?

Deportivo La Coruna have reportedly decided to offer Lucas Perez a return to the club in the summer.

Ahead of this season, Arsenal paid £17m to take the striker to the Emirates Stadium but he has seen his opportunities limited by manager Arsene Wenger.

The 28-year-old has made just nine starts in all competitions - with just two coming in the Premier League - and according to the Daily Mail, Deportivo are considering offering Perez the chance of a reunion.

Last season, he scored 18 goals in 37 appearances in La Liga, leading to both Arsenal and Everton making attempts to bring him to England.

However, despite netting a hat-trick against Basel in the Champions League, he has not been able to force himself into regular contention for a role in the first XI with the Gunners.
