Representative of out-of-favour attacker provides update on Arsenal future

Arsenal winger Lucas Perez will not be making a move to the Serie A giants Lazio this transfer market, according to his agent.

The Serie A side have been heavily connected with a move for the experienced Spaniard, who north London club are reportedly interested in offloading before the start of the campaign.

Perez spent the duration of the previous season on loan back in his homeland of Spain, as Lucas returned to Deportivo La Coruna.

However, Lucas did not enjoy a huge deal of success in Spain, which has prompted talk that he could seek a new challenge away from the Gunners at Lazio, in Serie A.

These states have since been refuted by Lucas’ representatives, however, with the star’s agency Protio Sport shedding some light on the latest rumours.

Protio Sport told The Laziali: “It’s nothing believable, they invent things. Lucas wants to triumph at Arsenal, he signed there with that intention.”


“Lazio is a great team, but Arsenal are also. Lucas is in Singapore with his team preparing for a new season that we wish would be a great season. We have not talked to Lazio for months.”
