Deportivo La Coruna are getting a clear run a Arsenal striker Lucas Perez.

AS says Newcastle United have now pulled out of the running for Perez, who has already stated he'd be open to returning to the Riazor this summer.

Depor have failed with one offer of €10m for Perez and have since returned with a new bid of €12m.

Arsenal are seeking €15m to sell, though Perez's camp is now pushing them for a compromise.

Last week, Perez submitted a transfer request to Arsenal to push through his departure.
