Serie A outfit Lazio are interested in Arsenal forward Lucas Pérez, according to reports.
Calciomercato, who cite a report in Corriere dello Sport, claim that with the recent sale of Felipe Anderson to West Ham, Lazio are pursuing a new offensive signing and Pérez tops their list.
The 29-year Spaniard spent last season on loan with La Liga side Deportivo La Coruña, and has claimed that he is hopefully of remaining with Arsenal this season to force his way into new boss Unai Emery’s plans.
But Lazio are keen on bringing Pérez to Rome, where manager Simone Inzaghi plans on partnering Pérez with Ciro Immobile, last season’s joint Capocannoniere (Serie A top goalscorer).
Lazio and the Gunners are due to face each other in a friendly in Stockholm early next month, which could present the two sides a good opportunity to discuss the possibility of doing a deal.
