Arsenal are set to beat Everton to the signature of Deportivo La Coruna striker Lucas Perez, according to Sky sources.
The Merseyside club were close to landing the 27-year old having triggered his release clause, which is around £17m.
Sky Sports News HQ understands Arsenal's negotiations are at a
much earlier stage, but the lure of Champions League football is likely
to prove decisive.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has made no secret of his desire to
bolster his striking options this summer, but attempts to sign Lyon
star Alexandre Lacazette have failed.
Known simply as Lucas, he is
a late developer, having spent much of his early 20's in the Spanish
lower leagues playing for Atletico Madrid's junior team.
