Newcastle United ace Salomon Rondon can be confident against Arsenal.
Newcastle United centre-forward Salomon Rondon should be full of belief going into the Premier League clash with Arsenal at the weekend.
Rafael Benitez’s side host the Gunners at St James’ Park and should have a striker confident he can get at a vulnerable defence.
Rondon delivered an international masterclass on Wednesday, as he came off the bench in the second-half to score twice for Venezuela to hand them a 2-0 win over Panama.
The 28-year-old is a colossus striker with a great physical presence, but he showed his predatory instincts with two smartly finished goals for his nation inside the penalty area.
After an impressive cameo for Venezuela, Rondon should be desperate to get back to club level to repeat his goalscoring antics.
Forwards love to get on a role when they are scoring goals and the Newcastle ace will hope his international brace can act as a catalyst.
Rondon linked up with Newcastle on loan from West Brom in the summer and is still waiting for his first league goal, but did get off the mark in the Carabao Cup defeat to Nottingham Forest.
He has shown in the past that he can be a decent performer in the English top flight and manager Benitez needs to him to burst to life, as the club are still looking for a first win of the season.
