Lucas Perez to leave Arsenal on loan in January?

Arsenal are reportedly open to offloading Lucas Perez to another club on loan when the transfer window reopens in January.

The 28-year-old has struggled to cement a regular spot in Arsene Wenger's starting lineup, with Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud standing in his way.

Perez, who has played just 87 minutes in the Premier League this season, signed for the North London outfit from Deportivo La Coruna in the summer for a reported £17.1m fee.

According to Calciomercato, Perez could be out of the door just five months after arriving at the Emirates, with the club willing to send the striker out on loan.

Perez has scored two goals for the Gunners so far this season, with both coming in a 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup.
