Perez is in no danger of leaving the club this January but in a couple of transfer windows down the line, he could well be the latest player to be sold in order to cash in.
Newcastle need good, young players who will grow with the team and learn just what being a Magpie and wearing the shirt means and someone like Perez is ideal for that.
Three goals in three games earlier in the season showed what he could do and Perez is a future Toon hero there is no doubt.
