Rafa Benitez sends message to Everton new signing Salomon Rondon

Everton confirmed the signing of Salomon Rondon yesterday right at the end of the transfer deadline day.

The former Newcastle striker joined from Chinese club Dalian Professional on a free transfer, signing a two-year contract with the option for a third season.

The Venezuelan striker has been reunited with Rafael Benitez for the third time, having previously worked with him at Newcastle and Dalian.

The 31-year-old centre-forward is a vastly experienced player who has 83 senior caps and a national team record 31 goals for his country.

Benitez has taken to Twitter to welcome Rondon following his move to Goodison Park.
