The former striker sent a message to his pal and Newcastle legend Alan Shearer on Twitter after the former Premier League Champions announced the deal.

Good signing for @LCFC. Really impressed with @AyozePG last season. We’ll look after him @alanshearer

— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) July 4, 2019

Shearer took the taunting in good faith and has replied Lineker with four words.

Really pleased for you!! https://t.co/NlfM37frEz

Perez spent five reasons with Newcastle, with his best campaign coming last term as he netted 12 Premier League goals.

The Magpies’ future of the 25-year-old was always tied to Rafa Benitez’s contract’s decision at Saint James Park, and it has come as no surprise that he has left after the former Liverpool boss left for China.
