West Ham plan bid for Arsenal striker Lucas Perez

West Ham are interested in Arsenal striker Lucas Perez.

The Times says Hammers boss Slaven Bilic admires Perez and wants to bring him to the London Stadium at the end of the season.

Bilic reckons he can land the Spain ace, who may be available as Arsenal will rebuild their strike force in the summer.

But Perez will not come cheap.

Arsenal rejected a £26m bid from a Chinese Super League team in the January transfer window.

West Ham have struggled to score under Bilic this season, with Michail Antonio their top goalscorer on nine goals - despite starting numerous games at right-back.
