Lucas Perez to Arsenal: Imminent Gunners signing lands at Heathrow Airport with striker set to be officially unveiled

LUCAS PEREZ has landed at Heathrow Airport with the striker set to be unveiled by Arsenal.
The £17million Spaniard be available for selection after the international break after he completes his move from Deportivo.
The quick Perez, 27, netted 17 La Liga goals for struggling Deportivo last season, and his firepower will be badly needed at the Gunners.
Manager Arsene Wenger confirmed last week that both Perez and Valencia's £35m German defender Shkodran Mustafi had had medicals and the announcement of the deals will be imminent.
