The striker, 29, spent last season on loan at Deportivo La Coruna after failing to establish himself at the Emirates Stadium.
Perez, who joined the Gunners from Deportivo for £17.1m in 2016, would be West Ham's ninth signing since Manuel Pellegrini was named manager in May.
The Chilean wants Perez to provide competition for main strikers Marko Arnautovic and Javier Hernandez.
