Ayoze Pérez Gutiérrez (born 29 July 1993), simply known as Ayoze, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Championship club Newcastle United.
He began his career at hometown club CD Tenerife, where he received several personal awards for his performances in the 2013–14 Segunda División season before joining Newcastle for around €2 million.
Ayoze has represented Spain internationally at under-21 level.
Born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Ayoze finished his formation with local Tenerife, making his senior debuts with the B-team in the 2011–12 season, in the fourth division. He appeared with the main squad in the third level in the following campaign, featuring in 16 matches and scoring once as the Blanquiazules returned to division two after a two-year absence.
After impressing in the 2013 pre-season, Ayoze played his first professional match on 18 August, starting in a 1–0 away defeat against Alcorcón. He scored his first goal in the "silver category" on 29 September, in a 1–0 home win over Real Madrid Castilla.
On 23 March of the following year Ayoze scored his first hat-trick of his career, starting in a 5–0 thrashing against Ponferradina. This was one of the performances which earned him the league's Player of the Month award, which he retained for a second consecutive time while his manager Álvaro Cervera won the equivalent.
