West Bromwich Albion-owned Salomon Rondon and Joselu are struggling to score goals for Newcastle United at the moment.
Newcastle are struggling to score goals this season, and that is one of the main reasons why the Magpies are in the bottom three of the Premier League table at the moment.
Joselu and Rondon are the two main strikers at the Magpies, but neither is banging in the goals at the moment.
Rondon, signed on loan from West Brom in the summer transfer window, has provided one assist in 212 minutes of Premier League football for Newcastle so far this season, according to WhoScored.
Spanish striker Joselu, 28, has scored two goals in six Premier League appearances for the Magpies so far this campaign, according to WhoScored.
Former Newcastle forward Kelly, 52, has predicted neither Joselu – who joined from Stoke City in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £5 million – nor 29-year-old Rondon will score 18 goals for Rafael Benitez’s side this season.
Kelly told The Daily Star: “With all due respect to Joselu or Rondon, neither of them are going to score 18 goals this season and that’s what you need.”
Tough season
Newcastle are struggling at the moment, and Benitez’s side remain in danger of getting relegated to the Championship.
The Magpies need to put together a run of positive results and drag themselves out of the bottom three.
