West Ham

A lack of goals up-front has been a problem for the Hammers all season, with the likes of Jonathan Calleri and Simone Zaza failing to perform whilst Andre Ayew, Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho have all been plagued by injuries all campaign. Their eyes could look elsewhere in the summer as they never spent the reported £25 million budget for a striker last summer.

That kind of fee should be enough to secure a deal with Arsenal, and whilst Perez may only have managed one Premier League goal, his record has been impressive. With a goal every 122 minutes, he far outstrips any of the Irons’ current options in terms of strike rate, and his strength and pace could combine perfectly with the style of the club, particularly if combined with Andy Carroll up front.

The London Stadium outfit would also be able to offer an attractive financial package to the Spaniard, which could prove vital in an attempt to convince the Galician to make a move, and the club have shown huge improvements of late and could even mount a late push for the Europa League having been in a relegation battle not long ago.
