West Ham keen to sign Arsenal outcast Perez

West Ham are reportedly very keen on making a move for Arsenal outcast Lucas Perez this summer.

According to a report from the Times, the Hammers have lodged an enquiry to Arsenal to explore the possibility of signing Perez as they continue their search for an answer to their attacking problems.

West Ham have been hunting for a new, prolific striker for some time now but their efforts have proved to be of no substance, but a move for Perez would certainly be a statement of intent.

Since his £17 million move from Deportivo back in the summer, Perez has found it fairly hard to break into the starting line-up at Arsenal under Arsene Wenger, being used mainly as a rotational option or an impact sub.

Perez has grown frustrated at the lack of opportunities and could be seeking a move away from the Emirates, with West Ham looking to be keen on bringing him to the London Stadium.
