The Spaniard becomes Brendan Rodgers second signing as Leicester City boss, joining Justin James who became the first signing of the window after joining from Luton Town. Perez netted 12 goals in the Premier League last season, assisting two in the process. However, the Spaniard’s move leaves a huge hole in the Newcastle United attack, with only Dwight Gayle and Japanese forward Yoshinori Muto remaining as the club’s two strikers.

The talented young attacking midfielder could be a good option for Newcastle. Arsenal may look to loan him out again, after struggling at Leipzig due to injuries. He would add something different to Newcastle’s midfield.

Watkins impressed for Brentford in the Championship last season and can play out wide, in the ten role or as a striker. The English forward would be a shrewd addition to their squad.
