Agent: Perez wants to leave Arsenal

Cape Town - Rodrigo Fernandez Lovelle, the agent of Lucas Perez, has revealed the Arsenal striker's determination to leave the club due to a lack of playing time.

Perez has made just 10 Premier League appearances for the Gunners following his off-season switch from Deportivo La Coruna - most of them as a substitute.

Alexis Sanchez, Olivier Giroud and Danny Welbeck are all ahead of him in the pecking order up front, and Lovelle has revealed the Spaniard's intentions to leave the Emirates Stadium.

"If Lucas leaves London - and he will leave because he's had no chance with Wenger - he wants to go and play for a big club like Arsenal," the agent said.

"AC Milan is a great club and he likes them very much, even if we've never talked with the Rossoneri hierarchy.

"Look, the truth is that Lucas wants to leave at all costs and is not happy at Arsenal, he hasn't settled and hasn't had a chance to play and show what he can do."

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
