Rondon has been linked with a switch back to the Premier League throughout the summer, with Newcastle now making their move.

Reports have claimed that West Brom are looking for a fee in the region of £16m for Rondon.

Newcastle are set to receive a fee similar to that for Aleksandar Mitrovic, who is on the verge of completing a move to Fulham after the two clubs agreed a deal.

West Brom have previously been linked with Newcastle striker Dwight Gayle and could demand the Englishman as part of any deal for Rondon.
