Arsenal cast-off Lucas Perez is on the brink of signing a season-long loan deal with Deportivo La Coruna.
The two clubs are understood to have agreed in the past hour a £4m loan fee for the campaign.
Perez has turned down approaches from Newcastle and Sevilla on Thursday as he seeks to force a return to Deportivo over the line.
Lucas Perez is close to a return to Deportivo on loan following a tough season at Arsenal
The La Liga outfit have both Thursday and Friday to complete the loan move for their former striker as the Spanish window closes a day later.
Arsenal initially wanted a transfer of £12m but Deportivo do not have the financial means and Perez has insisted he will only go to the Spanish club he left behind last summer in a £17.1m deal.
The Spaniard started only four matches after Christmas last season and did not start a game after the FA Cup win at Sutton in February.
There has been interest from Valencia and Marseille but Perez is steadfast in his determination to return to Deportivo.
Perez' last start for Arsenal came in their FA Cup victory over Sutton back in February
