Club career

Tenerife

Born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Ayoze finished his formation with local Tenerife, making his senior debuts with the B-team in the 2011–12 season, in the fourth division.[3][4] He appeared with the main squad in the third level in the following campaign,[5] featuring in 16 matches and scoring once as the Blanquiazules returned to division two after a two-year absence.[6][7]

After impressing in the 2013 pre-season,[8] Ayoze played his first professional match on 18 August, starting in a 1–0 away defeat against Alcorcón.[9] He scored his first goal in the "silver category" on 29 September, in a 1–0 home win over Real Madrid Castilla.[10]

On 23 March of the following year Ayoze scored his first hat-trick of his career, starting in a 5–0 thrashing against Ponferradina.[11] This was one of the performances which earned him the league's Player of the Month award,[12] which he retained for a second consecutive time while his manager Álvaro Cervera won the equivalent.[13]

In October 2014, Ayoze won the Breakthrough Player in the 2013–14 Segunda División and Best Attacking Midfielder in the 2013–14 Segunda División awards at the LFP Awards Ceremony.[14][15]

Newcastle United

On 5 June 2014 Ayoze rejected interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona and Porto to join Premier League club Newcastle United for an estimated €2 million fee.[16][17][18] The deal was confirmed a day later.[19] He made his league debut on 17 August, replacing fellow debutant Emmanuel Rivière in the 83rd minute of a 2–0 home defeat against Manchester City.[20]

Ayoze scored his first goal in his first league start on 26 October, in a 2–1 away win over Tottenham Hotspur.[21] Six days later, as a half-time substitute for Papiss Cissé, he scored the only goal of the game to defeat Liverpool and give Newcastle their fourth successive win.[22] On 9 November, Ayoze made it three league goals in as many games in a 2–0 away win against West Bromwich Albion.[23] His scored less frequently in the second half of the season as Newcastle struggled, but his equaliser against the same opponents on 9 May 2015 ended a run of eight consecutive defeats under John Carver, as the Toon eventually stayed up.[24]

Pérez scored Newcastle's first in a 2–2 draw with title holders Chelsea on 26 September 2015.[25] On 18 October, he recorded a goal in a 6–2 rout of Norwich City, Newcastle's first win of the season.[26] He scored the only goal of an away win at Bournemouth on 7 November, with Newcastle's only shot on target.[27] On 13 December, as a substitute, he scored an added-time winner at Tottenham Hotspur, moving Newcastle out of the relegation places.[28]

On 1 February 2016, Newcastle United announced that Pérez signed a new contract, committing himself to the club until the summer of 2021.[29]

International career

On 29 August 2014, Ayoze received his first call-up to the Spain national under-21 team for the 2015 European Under-21 Championships qualifying matches against Hungary and Austria.[30] He made his under-21 debut as a 77th-minute substitute for Munir El Haddadi against Hungary on 4 September.[31]

Personal life

Ayoze's older brother, Samuel, is also a forward, formerly of Blyth Spartans.[32]
