Newcastle United agree to sell Ayoze Perez to Leicester for £30m

Newcastle United have agreed a £30million fee for Ayoze Perez with Leicester City.

The Toon striker will leave the club if he passes a medical and agrees personal terms.

The Chronicle understands that United have found the offer too good to refuse but the money will be ploughed back into the transfer kitty for the next manager.

Perez has finished as United’s top scorer for the last two seasons and entered the club’s all-time top 10 Premier League scorer chart.

The former Tenerife man cost United just £1.6million after impressing in the Segunda Division and has netted 48 goals in all competitions for the club.
