Hernán Arsenio Pérez González (born 25 February 1989) is a Paraguayan professional footballer who plays for Spanish club RCD Espanyol and the Paraguayan national team as a right winger.

Club career

Early years

Pérez was born in Fernando de la Mora, Asunción. After playing for two other youth clubs he finished his formation with Tacuary, where he made his top division debuts in 2007.[1] Subsequently he was signed by fellow league side Club Libertad, appearing rarely for the capital club due to a serious right knee injury.[2]

Villarreal

On 30 July 2009, Villarreal CF from Spain bought Pérez, who signed a five-year contract.[3] He spent two full seasons with the reserves in Segunda División, starting in several of the matches he featured in.

Pérez was definitely promoted to the Valencians' main squad for the 2011–12 campaign. He made his official debut on 27 September in the UEFA Champions League game against S.S.C. Napoli, coming on as a substitute for Jonathan de Guzmán in the dying minutes of a 0–2 group stage away loss.[4] Again from the bench, on 1 October, he made his first La Liga appearance: from a corner kick, in the 84th minute, he equalized it 2–2 for the hosts against Real Zaragoza.[5]

Pérez contributed with 16 appearances and two goals[6][7] in 2012–13, as the Yellow Submarine finished second and returned to the top level one year after relegating.

Pérez joined Greek club Olympiacos F.C. on 31 January 2014.[8][9] He made his Superleague debut five days later, in a 2–0 home win against Panionios FC, and scored his first goal on 8 February in a 5–0 routing at Veria FC.[10]

On 30 January 2015, Pérez returned to Spain's second level after being loaned to Real Valladolid until the end of the season.[11][12]

Espanyol

On 3 July 2015, Pérez signed a four-year deal with RCD Espanyol in the top division, after his contract with Villarreal expired.[13] He quickly became a starter for the Sergio-led side and, on 21 November, took his season to tally to four after scoring a brace to help down Málaga CF 2–0 at the Estadi Cornellà-El Prat.[14]

International career

Pérez was one of the best players for the Paraguayan under-20 team at the 2009 South American Championship, helping the nation finish in second place by scoring five goals in seven games, and ultimately being considered one of the best players in the tournament held in Venezuela.[15]

He made his debut for the full side the following year, aged 21, and was selected to the 2011 Copa América in Argentina.
