Arsenal FC close in on Lucas Perez; fans full of sarcastic praise for relatively unknown Spaniard [Best Tweets]

Arsenal have chased a number of strikers over the summer, with top names like Jamie Vardy, Mauro Icardi and Alexandre Lacazette strongly linked with the club. However, the Gunners are now on the verge of signing Deportivo de La Coruna’s Lucas Perez. 

 

27-year-old Spanish forward Lucas Perez scored 17 La Liga goals for minnows Deportivo de la Coruna last season. Arsenal are now on the verge of wrapping up a £17 million deal to bring the player to the Emirates.

Many Gooners are not very familiar with the striker, prompting some mixed reactions on Twitter.

However, Arsenal fans flooded YouTube soon after rumours of the Perez deal started surfacing. What they saw left many of them astounded, with fans comparing Perez to everyone from Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Antoine Griezmann.
