Deportivo La Coruna are confident of re-signing Arsenal striker Lucas Perez.

Marca says the striker is keen to return to the Riazor and Arsenal, finally, appear to have realised that the best outcome for all parties is that they negotiate with the LaLiga club and allow Perez to leave the Emirates Stadium before the transfer window closes.

Tino Fernandez is determined to complete the striker's return in order to add depth to Pepe Mel's squad while also boosting the atmosphere among supporters of the club by bringing back a fans' favourite.

With the deadline fast approaching the Galician side are optimistic of completing a deal in time and he will become a Depor player in the coming days.
