Ayoze Perez has been linked with a move away from Newcastle United recently.

Ayoze Perez has told the Chronicle that he is happy to stay with Newcastle United.

Perez has been tentatively linked with a move away from St. James’ Park in the summer transfer window by The Sun.

The Spaniard is said to be of interest to range of clubs, but it seems that Perez has no desire to leave Newcastle.

“I am really happy at Newcastle,” he said. “I am always trying to get better and every time I step out at St James’ Park I want to do well and score goals.

“This is my feeling and that is important. I want to be here and help this club to grow.”

Perez could face increased competition for his place at Newcastle next season, as the Chronicle claim that Rafael Benitez wants another number 10 next season.

Perez did finish the campaign in brilliant form for Newcastle though, and became their top scorer.

The Spaniard ended with seven goals and became the Magpies’ most threatening attacking player towards the end of the past campaign.

Perez has always been a vital player in Benitez’s system, as his energy allows Newcastle to press from the front.

Benitez led Newcastle to a 10th place finish over the past campaign, after what was a hugely impressive first season back in the top tier.
