Newcastle Striker Hopes To Better His Goal Tally

Ayoze Perez is looking to improve at NUFC.

By Matt Smith / September 2, 2015

Tottenham Hotspur reportedly made a £15 million deadline bid for Newcastle's Ayoze Perez but the striker is focused on improving at the Magpies.

The club swiftly confirmed that any link with Spurs or anyone else was total rubbish and that Perez will be staying put on Tyneside.

The Spanish forward scored seven Premier goals last season after moving from Tenerife for just £1.5 million. Originally signed for the future, Perez broke into Alan Pardew first team set up and made 37 league appearances for the club.

The 22-year-old is hoping to improve this season and continue to develop at Newcastle and described his time at the club as "like a dream".

Speaking to the Shields Gazette, the player said:

Its harder because I had a good season last year, and I have to keep going and improve and maybe do better if I can. Thats what I want to do. I did good numbers, but I have to keep working every day and in training. I dont think about the numbers or to do better than last year just work and do my best for the team. I always want to improve so thats a good goal. I always want to be better so if I can score more goals, thats a good thing for me.

It seems that Perez is comfortable at St James' park and was not looking to leave the club this transfer window.

He added:

I feel fit, I feel comfortable with the team and Im happy with the start of the season. I have to keep working. My first year was a really good year and I hope this one will be the same or better. Im still thinking the same like its a dream. In a big game, sometimes I cant believe it.
