Arsenal, Man Utd, Roma target Perez not leaving Newcastle anytime soon - agent

Ayoze Perez is not about to depart Newcastle United according to his representative.

The 21-year old Spanish striker was reportedly close to joining Italian club Roma in the summer but instead moved to St James' Park from Tenerife for £1.5million.

More recently, Perez has been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United, and to a lesser degree Manchester City, but his agent Olaf Bonales said he is not going anywhere anytime soon.

"At the moment I do not think [there is a chance of him going to Italy], but who knows what will happen?" he told Calciomercato.

"We prefer to remain in England and he still has four years on his contract with Newcastle."

Pressed further about United's interest, Bonales added: "If we need to change clubs, everything must go naturally. Now it is better to stay (at Newcastle)."
