Hernán Arsenio Pérez González (born 25 February 1989) is a Paraguayan professional footballer who plays for Spanish club RCD Espanyol and the Paraguay national team as a right winger.
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. Subsequently, he was signed by fellow league side Club Libertad, appearing rarely for the capital club due to a serious right knee injury.
On 30 July 2009, Villarreal CF from Spain bought Pérez, who signed a five-year contract. 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. 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.
