Newcastle host Leicester City tonight in Ayoze Perez’s first game since leaving the Geordies to sign for the Foxes, and a lot of Newcastle fans have been quick to tweet the Spaniard ahead of the game.

With Steve Bruce’s Newcastle fresh off the back of a win against Tottenham, they now face unbeaten Leicester City, and they’re desperate for their former forward not to bag against them tonight.
The atmosphere should be a good one, and whilst the fans don’t want to see their former striker booed at St. James’ Park, they equally don’t want him to have a good game and get on the scoresheet.

The Geordies will be desperate for their former man not to score against the, but most seem pleased to be welcoming him back with his new side.
