Ayoze Perez delighted with Real Betis move: Pellegrini key

Ayoze Perez is delighted with his move to Real Betis.

The Leicester City striker has joined Betis on-loan to the end of the season.

At his presentation today, Perez said: “I have already seen how well known Betis is throughout the world, there are some very beautiful months left and I hope we can celebrate many successes.

"I started at Tenerife as a striker, and number 9 is the natural position but having the versatility to play as a midfielder or on the wing is something very in my favour. On a physical level I'm fine and this week will be great for me.

“Betis was always my priority. I had great contact with Manuel (Pellegrini). Having that support and affection from the coach is very important at this point in my career, I needed it. That prevailed above all, it was the trigger for me to come. We have a high-quality group and I think I can contribute a lot."
