New Dalian Yifang manager Rafa Benitez is hoping to persuade his former striker Salomón Rondón to join him in China, as Newcastle and West Brom are yet to agree a deal for the Venezuelan international.
Rondón spent last season on loan at Newcastle and enjoyed his most successful season in the Premier League, bagging 12 goals in 32 appearances under Benitez.
Despite being a crucial part of the Magpies' success during the 2018/19 campaign, there is no sign of a permanent deal on the horizon, and with parent club West Brom unable to afford his wages at Championship level, Rondón could follow Benitez to China, according to the Daily Mail.
