West Ham are chasing Arsenal striker Lucas Perez.

Perez has become a bit-part player for Arsenal, with Theo Walcott, Alexis Sanchez, Olivier Giroud and Danny Welbeck all ahead of him in the pecking order.

The Mirror says West Ham have already made 'strong enquiries' for Perez.

It is said the player and his representatives are aware of the interest shown by the Gunners.

Perez came close to joining Everton last summer before a last minute change of heart saw him end up in north London.
