Ayoze Perez to Complete Shock Leicester Move as Newcastle Misery Continues

Newcastle forward Ayoze Perez is on the verge of leaving St James' Park, with a surprise move to Leicester near to completion.

The 25-year-old was in sensational form towards the back end of last season, striking up a formidable partnership with Venezuelan forward Salomon Rondon to help fire the Magpies to a safe mid-table finish.

Ayoze Perez is heading to Leicester City - told Newcastle last summer he wouldn't sign a new deal and wanted out, whether Rafa Benitez stayed or not - now a deal to the King Power is almost done. Interesting move by Brendan Rodgers.
