West Brom striker Salomón Rondón is edging closer to a long-awaited move to Newcastle United this summer after the two clubs made a breakthrough in negotiations, according to reports.
Magpies manager Rafa Benitez is known to be an admirer of the Venezuela international, who was relegated with the Baggies last year despite finishing the campaign with 10 goals and four assists to his name.
Newcastle have been eager to sign Rondón as the club looks to bolster their attack ahead of the new campaign, but negotiations have been painfully slow for both sets of supporters.
