Lucas Pérez – Football Scout

Lucas Perez, David Ospina lead list of players likely heading for Arsenal exits

The FC panel have a simple message for Alexis Sanchez on his future at Arsenal after their less than stellar year: leave.

Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson gives his assessment into which positions Arsenal must strengthen this summer.
Arsene Wenger has admitted that Arsenal have “a heavy squad” at the moment, and a bit of a clear-out is expected ahead of a season with no Champions League football. That said, Wenger keeps insisting that neither Mesut Ozil nor Alexis Sanchez will be allowed to leave, and that he wants to keep the core of his side intact. That would likely include Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Aaron Ramsey, who also need new contracts this summer. So who will actually be sold then? Mostly fringe players, it would…

Arsene Wenger believes he is the right manager to take Arsenal to the next level after he signed a new two-year deal …

Arsenal’s Perez works his magic at the Harry Potter studios

Having managed just two Premier League starts since arriving in a £17 million deal last August, it seems improbable that Lucas Perez will be an Arsenal player come the start of next season.
However, while apparently surplus to requirements at the Emirates, it looks like the Spanish forward doesn’t intend on wasting his final few weeks in London.
Indeed, as a bit of a pick-me-up, Perez treated himself to a tour of the Harry Potter studios over the weekend, and even posed for a photo atop his…

Wenger insists Arsenal can land big targets without Champions League

The FC crew discuss whether Arsenal can finish in the Champions League places.
LONDON — Arsene Wenger insists Arsenal’s transfer plans would not be affected by missing out on the Champions League, and says he wants to keep striker Lucas Perez at the club next season.
Arsenal need Liverpool or Manchester City to drop points to have any chance of making the Premier League’s top four, meaning Wenger risks missing out on Champions League football for the first time since taking charge in 1995. While Wenger’s future remains unclear — his contract is up this summer — he…

Lucas Perez open to Deportivo La Coruna move after Arsenal struggles

Arsene Wenger revels in a first-ever Premier League win over Jose Mourinho, and the positive position it leaves Arsenal in.

Aaron Ramsey says a change in tactics paid dividends in Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Manchester United.
Lucas Perez would be open to returning to Deportivo La Coruna in the summer after admitting to his frustration over a perceived lack of opportunities at Arsenal.
Lucas, who moved to Arsenal from Deportivo last August, has made only 11 Premier League appearances for the club, scoring once, while he barely featured in the Champions League.
The forward feels he could have done more to help Arsenal challenge for honours, and in an interview with La Voz de Galicia, he said he has shared his concerns…

PSG could target Arsenal’s Lucas Perez instead of Alexis Sanchez – source

The FC crew discuss Alexis Sanchez’s recent comments on wanting to play for a team with a ‘winning mentality’.

Arsene Wenger attempts to underplay Arsenal’s abysmal performance against Crystal Palace, citing only their lack of scoring.

After a shock defeat to Palace, Craig Burley lambastes Arsenal’s ownership for having let Arsene Wenger remain in power.

Arsene Wenger admits that his Arsenal side were not defensively sound enough to handle Crystal Palace’s attack.
Paris Saint-Germain remain keen on Alexis Sanchez but may target his Arsenal teammate Lucas Perez instead, a source close to the club has told ESPN FC.
PSG are interested in Sanchez as a potential big-name summer signing and RMC Sport claims contact has been made with his agent. However, they are likely to face competition from the Premier League with sources telling ESPN FC that Manchester United and Manchester City are also keen to secure the player.
As reported last month, there are a number…

Lucas Perez thinks Arsene Wenger ‘is going to continue’ as Arsenal manager

Craig Burley and Mark Donaldson discuss whether Thierry Henry could succeed Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.
Arsenal forward Lucas Perez expects Arsene Wenger to stay on as manager and insists he has “a very good relationship” with the 67-year-old despite his limited playing time.
Perez has failed to break into Arsenal’s regular starting lineup since his arrival from Deportivo La Coruna last summer and his agent has previously hinted at a move away from the Emirates Stadium at the end of the season.
But the Spaniard told Radio Marca that he is happy at the club and that he wants Wenger to extend his contract,…

Lucas Perez has gone from star at Deportivo to bit-part player at Arsenal

Arsene Wenger speaks after Arsenal’s 5-0 thrashing of Lincoln City, and how the game helped them rediscover some confidence.
Having started all three previous rounds, Lucas Perez was probably disappointed to have been left out of the Arsenal team that beat Lincoln 5-0 in the FA Cup on Saturday.
The Spaniard came on as a second half substitute, but at that point the game was won and the best he could hope for was to add some gloss to the scoreline. On the day he was unable to do so — and was even seen to dive to try and win a penalty late on, which left fans wondering what exactly is going on with the former Deportivo…

Arsenal’s squad is dangerously light on players who relish a battle

Alejandro Moreno re-visits the subject of Arsenal’s ‘mental problem’ in the wake of Laurent Koscielny’s comments.

Tony Adams developed a “law of seven.” In the opinion of Arsenal’s greatest captain, if you wanted to be a successful team, seven was the number of players you needed who were ready to go into battle and give everything for their teammates.

“He believed it was imperative to look around your team and know there were at least seven who would back you up with everything they’ve got no matter what,” writes Amy Lawrence in “Invincible,” her story of the 2003-04 unbeaten season. “You could probably…

Lucas Perez happy to be finding his feet with Arsenal

The FC crew debate whether or not pressure will be deflected from Arsene Wenger should he lead Arsenal to the FA Cup title.
Lucas Perez says he feels “really comfortable” at Arsenal as he looks to help drive the team on to a positive end to the season.
Lucas, 28, took his tally for the Gunners to seven with the opening goal in the 2-0 FA Cup fifth-round win at Sutton United on Monday night.
The start at Gander Green Lane was, however, just his ninth in all competitions since he signed for £17 million from Deportivo La Coruna at the end of August.
Lucas’ representative has played down suggestions his client may…
