The Citizens are only fourth in the league following a shock draw at Wolves, but on the whole they continue to impress, and they have had the most shots of any club by far. Pep Guardiola’s men have pulled the trigger 91 times - resulting in a league-high 11 goals so far. The three teams above City in the actual table are Chelsea, Liverpool and Watford.

Arsenal striker Lucas Perez linked with West Ham United

Perez had joined Arsenal in 2016 from Deportivo La Coruna for a fee in the region of £17.1m, but first-team opportunities have been scarce. He featured in 11 Premier League games for the Gunners, scoring just once.

As a result, Arsene Wenger shipped Perez back out to Deportivo on loan last season, where he made a total of 35 appearances and scored eight goals.

Many fans believe that Perez could have played a larger role in the Arsenal squad this season as the new Gunners boss, Unai Emery, had tried to sign Perez for Paris Saint-Germain last summer.

However, during Arsenal’s pre-season tour in Singapore, Perez was hardly used and failed to travel with the squad for their final warm-up games against Chelsea and Lazio.

One of the main reasons as to why Pellegrini might be so keen on Perez is that he can play out wide. And after West Ham‘s deal with Porto’s winger Yacine Brahimi broke down, their attention has turned to Lucas Perez as a cheaper alternative.
