Newcastle United, West Ham United and Dalian Yifang reportedly want Salomon Rondon of West Bromwich Albion.

According to The Daily Mail, Rafael Benitez wants to sign his former Newcastle United striker Salomon Rondon from West Bromwich Albion for Dalian Yifang.

Rondon spent the 2018-19 campaign on loan at Premier League club from Championship outfit West Brom.

The 29-year-old striker made 30 starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Magpies last season, scoring 11 goals and providing seven assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

The Daily Mail has claimed that Benitez, who left Newcastle at the end of last month, wants to sign the Venezuela international striker for his new club, Dalian Yifang in China.

The report has also claimed that West Ham United and Newcastle are interested in securing the services of Rondon this summer, but Dalian Yifang’s financial power gives them an advantage.

Rondon is a very good striker, and he would be a very good signing for West Ham or Newcastle, but it seems that Benitez could deal the Hammers and the Magpies a transfer blow.
