Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is delighted with the form of Ayoze Perez.
Perez struck again in their 2-0 win at West Bromwich Albion.
"He was courted by some big clubs, in particular Porto, and Porto don't sign anyone unless they are a good player," Pardew said. "That underlined what we have seen and he has been a great buy for us.
"He genuinely loved the way we were so determined to bring him and 54,000 Geordies every week, the third biggest supported club in the country is a big magnet.
"He was highly regarded. We worked hard to bring him to the club. We thought his physicality could be an issue but he has such technical quality you hope it will see you through and it has. That goal was worthy of winning any game. It is difficult to play him on his own but he really worked hard."
