Lucas Perez has rejoined Spanish side Deportivo de La Coruna on loan for the 2017/18 season.

Lucas returns to Deportivo, where he enjoyed a prolific campaign in 2015/16, equalling a club record for goals scored in successive games.

Among the highlights of Lucas’s time with us last season are his wonderful volley away to Bournemouth in January and his hat-trick in our Champions’ League victory over Basel.

The 28 year-old has netted a total of seven times for the club in 21 appearances to date.

We all wish Lucas well for his time with Deportivo this coming season.

The loan is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.
