Unai Emery’s Arsenal revolution got underway on Saturday with a comprehensive 8-0 win over National League side Boreham Wood.Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the star of the show, while youngsters Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Emile Smith-Rowe and Eddie Nketiah also caught the eye for the Gunners.Lucas Perez was also involved for Arsenal and he made an impression in front of new head coach Emery.Having returned to the Emirates following his loan spell with Deportivo La Coruna last season, question marks surround the future of the Spaniard.
Given the likes of Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Danny Welbeck will be battling for a starting spot, it looks like it will be extremely hard for the 29-year-told to break into the team.However, according to reports from El Desmarque in Spain, the ex-PAOK man is willing to bide his time and convince the new head coach that he is good enough to play for the Gunners.Perez impressed many after joining the club at the start of the 2016/17 season, yet chances in the league were hard to come by under Arsene Wenger.Despite a tough season back at the Riazor with Deportivo last campaign, the appointment of Emery, who knows Perez from their time in La Liga, could potentially offer him an Arsenal lifeline.
