Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley has admitted to the Daily Mail that he has made an error in selling Ayoze Perez to Leicester City but it was out of their control.
The Spaniard joined the Magpies from Tenerife in 2014 for a measly fee of less than £3 million.
He spent five seasons at the Tyneside club and enjoyed a brilliant 2018/19 campaign under Rafael Benitez where he scored 13 goals in all competitions.
However, he was sold for £30million this summer, after Leicester triggered his release clause.
Although Newcastle made a huge profit on Perez, Ashley feels that he has made an error in this case.
