Grady Diangana has told West Ham United’s official website that he feels Newcastle United striker Salomon Rondon could be a major threat to his side.

West Ham are due to take on Newcastle at St. James’ Park at the weekend, as they look to get back to winning ways.

And Diangana admits that West Ham will need to keep an eye Rondon when they take on Newcastle.

“I see Salomon Rondon as being a threat, so they’re probably going to play a lot of balls in the air for him as he’s really good aerially,” the youngster said.

“They’ve also got some good ballplayers like Kenedy, Matt Ritchie and Mo Diame who used to be here at West Ham, so they have got a lot of threats all over the pitch.”

Diangana has really benefitted from Manuel Pellegrini’s appointment at West Ham, as he has been handed a chance.

The prospect has been promoted from the youth team and is now enjoying a fine breakthrough season.
