Sports'Bottom of the barrel', 'Was literally a matter of time' - Many EFC fans flock to transfer news
Everton have been offered the chance to sign striker Salomon Rondon, according to Ekrem Konur.
The Venezuelan has experience of the Premier League after spells with West Bromwich Albion and Newcastle United. The Baggies paid £15.3m to sign him from Zenit St Petersburg in 2015, and three years later he headed to Tyneside on a season-long loan.
Could Rondon link up with Benitez for a third time?
Rondon was managed by Rafael Benitez, now Everton’s manager, while at St James’ Park. He scored 12 goals and provided seven assists in 33 games under the Spaniard’s tutelage at Newcastle, and they would later reunite at Chinese Super League outfit Dalian Yifang in the summer of 2019.
He has played 140 Premier League games throughout his career, scoring 35 goals in the division to give him a return of one every four matches, which wouldn’t mark him out as a hugely prolific player.
Rondon, who spent the latter half of last season on loan at CSKA Moscow, is into the final 18 months of his contract with the club. The 31-year-old is valued at £5.4m by Transfermarkt.
Everton could be in the market for a back-up to Dominic Calvert-Lewin after Josh King left at the end of his contract.
Fan feed Toffee TV relayed the rumour, and here’s what some supporters made of it, with many unconvinced by Rondon.
