Lucas Perez has finally sent out his first tweet as an Arsenal player.

The striker, who the Gunners completed the signing off on this afternoon (Tuesday), posted a picture of himself in his shiny new Arsenal kit with the hashtag, #anewGunnerisintown.

Indeed he is.

The striker has signed from La Liga club Deportivo in order to give as a second option up front. As much as we all love Olivier Giroud, we were becoming easy to read. Everyone knew how to beat us and mark the big man out of the game.

With Lucas, we have another element. A pacey, passionate player who is happy to get stuck in and fight for his team.

I’m looking forward to watching him play.
