Arsenal fans were finally delighted with the signing of Lucas Perez from Deportivo La Coruna after activating his €20 million clause. Arsene Wenger previously gave up on the chance to sign Perez earlier this summer, preferring to focus on other targets, but returned to the Spaniard after other deals failed to materialise.
The Spanish striker finally managed to sign a long-term deal with the Emirates club after a week of intense speculation. Perez now joins Granit Xhaka, Takuma Asano, Rob Holding and Kelechi Nwakali among the new faces and is the 5th signing for the north London club, with the transfer of Shkodran Mustafi to be completed in the upcoming hours.
This is how twitter reacted to the signing of Lucas Perez:

Lucas Perez "A key reason to me joining was Arsene Wenger guaranteeing me he'll be here for another few years"

Lucas Perez signing is getting the same reaction as the Monreal one. Just because he's not on your FIFA radar doesn't make him bad.

According to Arsenal fans, Lucas Perez is the greatest striker since Thierry Henry. 48 hrs ago they didn't know who he was.
