Perez being rumoured for a transfer to us, got anything of information on his Zark?
He has been a mediocre striker throughout all of his career, but last season he was amazing. He worked hard, dominated, created a lot of chances and, most importantly, scored a lot of goals. Scoring 17 for a team like Derpotivo (they are absolutely shit in attack otherwise) is huge.
However the question is if he really did have his breakthrough last season and he's stepping up to be come a great striker, or he was just in amazing form and he's going to drop back to his underwhelming previous level.
I really can't say. He did score last weekend in Deportivo's first game, so it might be a good sign, but it's just one game...
If he does play like last season then he'd be a good signing. Probably worse than Giroud overall, but a much better finisher.
Also, he shoots a lot. He often doesn't think twice about it and goes for it, showing confidence in his shot... this works great in Deportivo where everyone else in attack is garbage, but idk how it would work out at Arsenal. I wonder if he'll adapt to shoot less and play with his partners more, or he will stick to trying to finish chances asap. In any case, he can pass, and he's by no means a tap-in master kind of finisher... he's pretty complete, but enjoys shooting
