Newcastle United forward Ayoze Perez has described his move to St James' Park as "a dream come true".
The 21-year-old, who spent his formative years at La Liga club Tenerife, has found himself in the spotlight after scoring winning goals against Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur in recent weeks.
Perez told the Chronicle: "It feels incredible. I couldn't ask for any more. It's been a really good week with the two goals, but more importantly because it's the fourth consecutive win for the team. It has been a really good time for the club.
"The goal at Tottenham was a big thing for me. Getting my first Premier League goal has definitely helped my confidence and also the fact that I've been really involved with the team.
"It is a dream come true for me. To make the jump from a team like Tenerife to playing in the Premier League is incredible really. It is something that I always wanted to do."
The Magpies have climbed to 11th in the Premier League after a spell in the relegation zone.
