Lucas Perez has continued the summer exodus at West Ham by joining Spanish side Alaves for £2million.

The 30-year-old Spanish forward leaves after a disappointing season at the London Stadium following his £4m switch from Arsenal last summer.

Perez made 19 appearances for West Ham, scoring just six goals.

He follows Edimilson Fernandes out the exit door at West Ham following his transfer to German side Mainz.

Andy Carroll, Samir Nasri and Adrian have been released on free transfers as West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini continues a major shake-up of his squad.

West Ham said in a statement: “Lucas Perez has joined Spanish Primera Division club Alaves on a permanent deal.

"West Ham United would like to thank Lucas for his efforts and wish him the best for his future career.”
