Newcastle United target Ayoze Perez has taken flight from Tenerife – and is set for talks with the Magpies over a summer move.

Chroniclelive understands that Perez left Tenerife after the conclusion of the club’s season over the weekend to talk to interested clubs, including Newcastle. But claims that he was at St James’ Park on Monday have been played down by sources close to the Magpies.

Perez scored 16 goals in 33 appearances for Tenerife this year and Newcastle have already made contact with the player to talk about a switch to England.

20-year-old Perez is also wanted by Porto, Everton and Swansea after impressing for the second tier Spanish outfit as they clinched promotion last term – and has a release clause which will allow clubs to snatch him for just £2million.

A move is far from concluded though. United see him as a player for the future and there are fears that he may take time to fit into English football, so the club will not want to get dragged into a bidding war with his agent – who has previously claimed interest from Real Madrid in the player.

United want tried and tested stars who can hit the ground running and are in France at the moment looking to clinch deals before the start of the World Cup. They have tabled an offer for Remy Cabella but their main priority is to sign strikers.
