The Spaniard has been widely tipped to leave the Emirate this summer despite only spending one season at the club.

Perez managed just 21 appearances in all competitions last term - most of them from the bench - and netted seven goals.

The forward's agent has publicly spoken of Perez's desire to leave and he is working on a transfer away from north London.

Sevilla and former club Deportivo La Coruna remain locked in talks with his representatives.
