Arsenal striker Lucas Perez has thanked the club for allowing him to return to Deportivo La Coruna on-loan.
Lucas has returned to the Riazor on Friday.
“I'm where I want to be," Perez said. “I have a right to decide what is going to happen with my future and what I want to do.
“Arsenal understood that and I'm grateful to them. They understood my situation and the fact that I wanted to return home.
“Arsenal defended their own interests, they initially didn't want me to return to Deportivo.
“They have reached agreements with many clubs but I clearly told them that my intention was to join Depor and no other alternative."
