Perez joined Arsenal from Deportivo for £17 million (BBC) last summer but has struggled for first team football scoring just one goal in 11 Premier League appearances this season.

The Spanish striker played just 265 minutes of Premier League football this season.

Fenerbahce are planning to replace Robin van Persie this summer.

The former Arsenal and Manchester United forward is the highest paid player in the squad but has not had the kind of impact the Canaries were hoping.

The 33-year-old has 12 months remaining on his contract and the Istanbul giants are listening to offers.

Moving Van Persie on has however, been tricky due to his high wages.

The experienced striker earns £6.6 million [€7.5m] per-season.

Van Persie has scored 40 goals and provided eight assists in 87 games for Fenerbahce since joining from United.
