According to reports in Spain, Ayoze Perez is set to move to Real Betis this summer, and Newcastle fans are not buying it.

Ayoze Perez has been one of the most influential figures in Newcastle’s incredible revival, and now Gol Digital are claiming the Spaniard is on the radar of several La Liga sides.

In fact according to the report, Perez’s move to Real Betis is “imminent” even though there are no reports in England to substantiate the claim.

Perez has always lacked a bit of end product to go with his undeniable talent, but with three goals and four assists in his last seven starts the 24 year-old is finally repaying Rafael Benitez’s faith.

Newcastle themselves have been linked with a summer move for Fernando Torres, and while the Toon Army are delighted with those links they definitely don’t want to lose Perez in the same window.

Goalscoring has been a problem for the Magpies all season, and if they can add a top striker next season they can surely challenge again for the top ten.

Losing their “number ten” in Perez would be devastating though, and some of the best Twitter reactions can be found below…
