Lucas Perez has been tipped to leave Arsenal this summer due to his lack of game time last season.

The 28-year-old started just nine matches last term and wants to play more in order to boost his chances of making the Spain squad for the 2018 World Cup.

A number of clubs have been linked with the winger, including his former side Deportivo La Coruna and Newcastle United.

However, Perez's agent Rodrigo Fernandez Lovelle has denied receiving any offers from the Premier League, insisting Fenerbahce are leading the charge for his signature.

“We are in talks with Fenerbahce but Arsene Wenger does not want a loan move,” Lovelle told website TurkishFootball.

“Wenger wants €15m [£13.4m] for Lucas. He still has another three-years on his contract so Arsenal hold all the cards.

“Fenerbahce, two Spanish teams and a Bundesliga side have made an offer for Lucas.

“Fenerbahce are the most serious and we have been in talks for two months.”

Speaking this month about his future at , Perez said: "I want to leave to play and be happy.

"Last year I barely had any opportunities and when I had them I took advantage of them and this season is clearly going to be more of the same.

"I want to fight to go to the national team. I want to play football, but for that I have to leave.

"I cannot continue this way. I have given everything, but that has not been reciprocated, so I can't stand it any longer. I feel cheated."
