On Wednesday the big Lucas Perez story in Spain was Everton and by the evening of the same day, it had already changed to Arsenal.
El Confidencial and Marca reported that a move to Arsenal from Deportivo La Coruna is very close indeed, whereas another Spanish newspaper, AS, explained that whilst there was interest things weren’t that far along just yet.
It’s interesting to take an updated part of an article from La Voz De Galicia. The newspaper local to La Coruna says that West Brom haven’t given up and are determined.
It’s explained that Tony Pulis and West Brom have no desire to fight relegation again, so want to add quality to the squad before the window closes.
La Voz De Galicia say West Brom have sent officials to La Coruna to speak to Lucas Perez’s representatives, and put forward a contract offer of €3m a season.
It’s higher than Everton’s €2m wage offer, and given how impressed the newspaper sound, we wouldn’t be shocked if it’s calculated after tax.
