Ayoze Perez admits youth of Newcastle squad helped him settle

Ayoze Perez admits the youth of Newcastle United's squad has helped him settle.

Rolando Aarons, Mehdi Abeid and Sammy Ameobi all played their part in the weekend's win over Liverpool.

Perez said: "It definitely helps having so many young players around me and that has made it easier for me to settle in. To be around other players who are trying to break into the team as well helps you feel more confident that you can do it yourself.

"We train together as a group and try to look out for each other. We support each other and I think that's definitely helping us to do a good when we are called upon to play in the team."
