Coloccini: Perez can be top, top Newcastle player

Newcastle United skipper Fabricio Coloccini is full of praise for Ayoze Perez over his first season in England.

Perez has goals against Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool to his name this term.

Coloccini, who has taken Perez under his wing since he arrived, told the Evening Chronicle: "It is a big jump. But his job is to play in the Premier League now and against the biggest teams in the world.

"It's important he keeps that level. If he can, he will be a top, top player for us."
