Newcastle's Ayoze Perez says he will reject a return to Spain this summer to star in the Premier League.
Both Real Betis and Villarreal are tracking the talented 24-year-old but he is determined to reach new heights in England, even if his future turns out to be away from St James' Park.
Perez has scored winners in the last two games against Huddersfield and Leicester pushing Newcastle up to tenth ahead their home game against Arsenal on Sunday.
Newcastle refused to contemplate an approach from Tottenham in 2016 but Perez's stock has continued to rise with 31 goals from 100 starts in all competitions since his arrival from Tenerife for £2millon in 2014.
