According to reports from the Northern Echo, West Ham United are leading the race to sign West Brom striker Salomon Rondon this summer.
The 29-year-old spent the last season on loan at Newcastle United where he enjoyed the best season of his career in the Premier League.
He scored 11 goals and provided seven assists, and played a major role in helping the Magpies stay in the Premier League.
Newcastle are keen to sign him permanently and have offered less than £10m, which is some way off West Brom’s valuation of the player.
