Arsenal left it late to announce one more of their signings for the summer. On Tuesday, the Gunners confirmed the signing of Spanish forward Lucas Perez from Deportivo La Coruna for an undisclosed fee.
The 27-year-old, who has never featured for the Spain football team, remained quite impressive for Deportivo in the La Liga last season as he scored a total of 17 times from 36 games in the Spanish top flight, also assisting a total of ten goals.
"He's [Perez] not only a goalscorer, he's a guy who combines well with partners, who can give a final ball and makes good runs," said Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. "He's got a good eye for goal and had an outstanding season last year."
The Gunners are also expected to announce the signing of German defender Shkodran Mustafi in some hours, prior to the closing of the summer transfer window. It was earlier reported that the Valencia centre-back has already agreed to join Wenger's side on a five-year contract.
The confirmed signings so far for Arsenal from the summer transfer window remain Granit Xhaka (Switzerland), Takuma Asano (Japan) and Rob Holding (England).
