Arsene Wenger set to start 2016 by raiding Spain for a new winger

They made hard work of it, but Arsenal managed to escape their Champions League group and made it to the knock out stages yet again.

With a last 16 tie to be scheduled for February, reports in Spain reckon that Arsene Wenger could be about to bolster his squad. El Ideal Gallego claim the Arsenal boss has given the green light for Deportivo La Coruna winger, Lucas Perez. The 27-year-old has bagged 10 goals in 14 games for Depor this season and has caught the eye of Wenger. Having dispatched scouts to watch him play, Arsenal could have a new man on the wing to start the new year.
