signed a new five-and-a-half-year deal at St James' Park.
The 22-year-old has impressed at St James' Park since
arriving from Tenerife in June 2014, scoring 12 times in 63
appearances in all competitions.
"It's a special day for me, a big day for me," Perez told
Newcastle's official website.
"The truth is I'm really happy here, so it's a good thing for
me - and I hope it's the same for the Geordie family.
"Newcastle gave me everything and I'm really pleased to
sign this new contract."
Manager Steve McClaren is confident Perez can form part of
an encouraging future for Newcastle, adding: "I am delighted
that Ayoze has signed a new deal.
"He is a very good player with huge potential and someone
we believe has a very big future at Newcastle United.
"We are building this club for the long-term and Ayoze is a
very important part of that."
News of Perez's new deal came after Newcastle announced
they had signed striker Seydou Doumbia on loan from Roma
until the end of the season.
McClaren's side have been one of the busiest during the
January transfer window, having already completed deals
for Henri Saivet, Jonjo Shelvey and Andros
