Ayoze Perez is an important player for Newcastle United.

Newcastle United forward Ayoze Perez has suggested to The Sun that he will continue his controversial celebrations for the rest of the season.

Back in November, Ayoze was jeered by his own fans against Watford, but the forward responded in style by scoring the winning goal for Newcastle.

The 25-year-old celebrated by sticking his fingers in his ears, and the Spaniard has said that he will continue the celebration for the rest of the season.

Perez told The Sun: “I found that I had to do it against Watford and, since that moment, I have kept doing it. I will do it until the end of the season now.”

Perez has been on the books of Newcastle since the summer of 2014 when he joined from Tenerife for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £1.5 million.

The 25-year-old has been important for the Magpies over the years, as his versatility in attack has been a boon for the team.

The forward has made 22 starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for Newcastle so far this season, scoring three goals and providing one assist in the process, according to WhoScored.
