Leicester City have completed the signing of Ayoze Perez from Newcastle United, the club has announced.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perez, who made 195 appearances over five years at Newcastle, has signed a four-year deal with the Foxes and becomes\u00a0Brendan Rodgers’ second signing of the summer.<\/p>\n

Ayoze Perez to Newcastle: Five key things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Rafael Benitez left his post as Newcastle boss at the end of June to take over at Dalian Yifang.<\/li>\n
  2. Ayoze Perez has followed his former manager out of the door by joining Leicester City.<\/li>\n
  3. The Foxes have parted with \u00a330m for the Spaniard’s services.<\/li>\n
  4. Perez had two years left on his Newcastle contract and has signed a four-year deal at the King Power Stadium.<\/li>\n

    The 25-year-old joined Newcastle for just \u00a31.5m from Tenerife in 2014, so the Magpies have certainly made a considerable profit on the attacking midfielder.<\/p>\n

    Speaking to the club’s official website<\/a>, Perez said: “I\u2019m very happy and very pleased. I\u2019m very proud to be part of the Leicester family and I can\u2019t wait to get started.<\/p>\n

    “The Club want to keep growing as much as they can and that\u2019s something I like. I spoke with the manager and that was important. That made me feel very comfortable about the decision to come here.”<\/p>\n
