His agent Rodrigo Fernandez Llovelle was quoted by Italian media outlet CalcioMercato saying Perez wanted "to leave at all costs".

However, when contacted by Sky Sports News HQ, Llovelle said he receives a lot of calls but did not specifcally remember speaking to CalcioMercato.

Llovelle would not make any further comment on whether Perez is happy at Arsenal.

Perez has appeared in 18 matches this season, and scored a hat-trick in the 4-1 Champions League win at Basel, but many of his appearances have been from the substitutes' bench.

Llovelle was reported as saying in the CalcioMercato quotes: "The matter is that Lucas want to leave at all costs and is not happy at Arsenal.
