The 29-year-old who arrived at the St James' Park on a temporary deal from West Bromwich has managed just three goals in all competitions so far
Newcastle United legend Shola Ameobi has advised the club on how to get the best out of striker Salomon Rondon.
The Venezuela attacker, on a season-long loan from the West Bromwich Albion, has led the Magpies' attack in eight league matches this season, scoring twice.
Rondon - who was on target in his side's 3-1 League Cup defeat to Nottingham Forest in August - opened his league account with a brace that gave Newcastle United a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth on November 10 and featured in their win away at Burnley on Monday evening.
