West Brom signs Rondon in record deal

West Brom has broken its transfer record to sign Salomon Rondon from Zenit for a fee in the region of 12 million pounds.

Salomon Rondon has joined West Brom from Zenit on a four-year deal, after the Premier League club broke its transfer record to secure his signature for a fee in the region of 12 million pounds ($18.7 million).

The Venezuela international arrives from Russia having passed a medical and obtained international clearance.

Rondon's fee exceeds the £10M ($15.5M) West Brom paid Dynamo Kiev for Brown Ideye in July last year, and moves to the Hawthorns having netted 13 goals in 26 Russian Premier League appearances last season.
