Newcastle's Ayoze Perez won two awards in Madrid on Monday night, recognising his impressive season at Tenerife last year.
The 21-year-old was given dispensation by the Magpies to attend the Liga de Futbol Profesional's annual awards and walked away with the Liga Adelante's breakthrough player gong, as well being named the Segunda Division's best attacking midfielder.
Perez, who opened his Newcastle account in Sunday's 2-1 win over Tottenham, scored 16 times in 34 appearances for Tenerife last term.
Perez, who will be back in time for the Capital One Cup match at Manchester City on Wednesday, told NUFC TV: "I'm really, really proud to be part of the names (in Madrid), because the awards are for players in the Primera and Segunda so it's a very important awards ceremony."
