"It would be a mistake to start thinking about that now, it is too early," Perez told Tenerife newspaper Diario De Avisos.

"I've only been at Newcastle a few months and I am very happy. I continue to work as usual and I am in no rush.

"I just think about helping the team and returning all the trust they have put in me. Everything else? If you keep working hard, sooner or later it will end up coming."
