Perez was a target for Everton but Arsenal beat them to the deal. No word on the fee yet.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said: “He’s not only a goalscorer, he’s a guy who combines well with partners, who can give a final ball and makes good runs. He’s got a good eye for goal and had an outstanding season last year.”
