Like Collado, Perez arrived Barcelona after previously spending time on the books of the Espanyol academy, and the 21-year-old has grown from strength to strength at La Masia.

Primarily a winger, Perez can be deployed anywhere across the front three, and sent a statement of his intent during pre-season, scoring two goals in the game against Vissel Kobe to make an impression on Ernesto Valverde.

His performance certainly sent a message, as the former Spain Under-17 international has played in each of Barcelona's two La Liga campaigns till date.

Having started the 1-0 loss to Athletic Bilbao on the bench, Perez was started from the get-go against Real Betis and he rewarded Ernesto Valverde's faith with a well-taken goal in the 56th minute.

That goal marked his first strike for the senior side. And, with Perez set to benefit more playing time due to the injuries sustained by the regular attackers, he could yet get more opportunities to score more goals for his childhood club.
