Ayoze Perez

Newcastle United really pulled a rabbit out of the hat when they signed Ayoze Perez.

Real Madrid and Barcelona were reportedly interested in the striker from Tenerife, and we can see why.

Perez was supposed to join the development squad, but made an instant impact of Tynside – scoring crucial goals during a dreadful season, including a delightful backheeled flick against West Bromwich Albion.

Transfer rating: 9/10
