Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is delighted with what he's seen from Ayoze Perez.
The Spaniard almost scored against Manchester City within seconds of making his Newcastle debut as a second-half substitute and his manager believes the young man has a real chance of making a serious impact over the coming months.
Pardew said: "I have been impressed with him pre-season. Since being with us he must have grown a centimetre in his body, also in muscle mass.
"He has fantastic technique though and he didn't really do much wrong with that chance.
"He created a little chance and it was only an unbelievable recovery tackle that stopped him scoring.
"He has a lovely manner to him and we have high hopes for him.
"I think he will play a part this season. How significant we'll have to wait and see."
