Lucas Perez completes Alaves move

Lucas Perez has completed his move to La Liga side Deportivo Alaves as West Ham continue their summer clear-out ahead of next season. 

Perez has signed a three-year deal with Alaves for a fee in the region of £2million, and the Spaniard becomes the fifth player to leave the club this summer.

The club confirmed the departure of Perez on their official website, before thanking the striker and wishing him good luck for the future. 

Lucas Perez has joined Spanish Primera Division club Alaves on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee. West Ham United would like to thank Lucas for his efforts and wish him the best for his future career. 

Perez struggled for first team football following his move from Arsenal last summer, making just 19 appearances in all competitions and scoring six times. 

The Spaniard makes his permanent return to La Liga for the first time since leaving Deportivo La Coruna in 2016, though the 30-year-old did return to his former side for a loan spell the following year after having limited game time at the Emirates.
