# Newcastle United: Fans applaud Ayoze Perez following alleged reaction to booing

**According to a report[from the Chronicle \[19:24\]](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-transfers-giroud-babel-17522594), former Newcastle United man Ayoze Perez felt disappointed to be booed by the home supporters upon his return to St. James’ Park due to the fact he[‘gave everything’](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-transfers-giroud-babel-17522594) during his spell on Tyneside – with these Magpies followers on social media applauding the alleged stance of an [‘excellent servant’](https://twitter.com/ian_riches/status/1214635266478084096?s=21).**

Perez, who scored the opening goal during Newcastle’s [3-0 home loss](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Abt3lnxDHpU&feature=onebox) to Leicester City on New Year’s Day, used to be one of the club’s better assets before moving on for a £30 million fee to the Foxes [last summer](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48869383) – evident by the fact he scored 48 goals and assisted 17 others in 195 appearances for the Toon, [as per Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ayoze-perez/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/246968).

However, upon his return to the North East last week, Perez [appeared to be booed](https://newcastle.vitalfootball.co.uk/not-deserved-at-all-definitely-plenty-of-newcastle-fans-discuss-the-treatment-perez-deserves/) by a section of the home support despite his past contributions for the club – prompting some fans to fight his corner on social media.

Here’s what they had to say on Twitter.

> He certainly didn’t deserve being booed. An excellent servant for the club. Maybe the Donnay Army were just upset that he represented a better time.

> Embarrassing this. Imagine booing a lad who did nothing but good stuff for us. I’d have him back in a second.
