Arsenal are pricing Lucas Perez out of a move away.

The Sun says the Gunners are demanding a stunning £20 million for Spanish outcast Perez.

The Gunners want a return on the £17m they paid for Perez, 28, a year ago.

And the hefty price tag has cooled interest in a permanent deal from Newcastle and fellow Prem new-boys Brighton.

The fee is also pushing Perez's old team Deportivo La Coruna out of the chase.
