According to reports from The Chronicle, Newcastle United are close to completing a deal for Salomon Rondon, with the player allegedly on Tyneside to secure his move.
Rafael Benitez, the Newcastle manager, has been looking to bolster his strike department throughout the summer, and Rondon has been at the top of his wish list.
The Chronicle now reports that the Magpies are closing in on the Venezuelan striker with the player already at Tyneside to secure his move.
Despite getting demoted to the Championship, West Bromwich Albion were reluctant to lose their key players, and were determined to to keep hold of Rondon.
