Seville will offer Lucas Perez an end of season escape from Arsenal.

According to a report in The Sun the Spanish side, as well as AC Milan and two Premier League outfits are keen on the out of favour striker.

Perez has managed just one Premier League goal since moving from Real Sociedad last summer and is a distance behind Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud in Arsene Wenger’s thoughts.

Arsenal paid the £17.1m buy out fee on his Deportivo de la Coruna contract but are likely to cut their losses and accept a similar sum.

Seville would almost certainly be able to offer Perez a better chance of first team football while a return to La Liga would suit the striker’s playing style.

The highlight of Perez’s time at Arsenal has been a Champions League hat-trick away to Basle but it looks unlikely that he’ll be given the chance to repeat that domestically.
