Newcastle are known to be looking for a new striker this summer, but they have missed out on many of their targets to date.
And Rondon could offer Rafael Benitez exactly what he has been looking for from a front man.
Rondon may not have scored particularly prolifically at West Brom, but he is still a valuable asset.
With a sizeable amount of power, Rondon serves as an effective target man and he could work excellently in tandem with Dwight Gayle at St. James’ Park.
Gayle likes to play on the shoulder of the last man, and could feed off someone like Rondon’s knock-downs, if the Venezuelan was to move to St. James’ Park.
Rondon would not be a marquee addition for the Magpies this summer, but he could still be an effective signing.
And if he is available, Benitez would be wise to make a bid – if he wants to improve Newcastle’s striking options.
