The agent of Arsenal striker Lucas Perez is 'hopeful' a deal can be struck for the Spaniard to return to Deportivo La Coruna.
Out-of-favour forward Perez arrived at the Emirates last summer from the Liga side but made only 11 appearances in the Premier League in his first season in london.
The 28-year-old is desperate for a move away to reignite his career, with Deportivo his preferred destination.
And his representative, Rodrigo Fernandez Lovelle, believes the offer his ex-club have made is a 'great deal' for the Gunners.

He told Sky Sports: "I think the £10.9m that Deportivo have offered is a great deal. Deportivo received £12.7m when they sold him to them last summer.
"They are giving everything to make this transfer possible. Lucas wants to play but he has a contract with Arsenal.
"I am hopeful an agreement can be reached."
