Wolves 'eye short-term swoop for Salomon Rondon' as they identify ex-West Brom and Newcastle striker as replacement for injured Raul Jimenez who is out with a fractured skull

Wolverhampton Wanderers reportedly want to sign former West Brom striker Salomon Randon as cover while they wait for Raul Jimenez to recover from a fractured skull.

Mexican striker Jimenez picked up the horrific head injury during Wolves' victory at Arsenal last month following a clash of heads with Gunners defender David Luiz.

The 29-year-old is out of hospital following surgery and has been spotted at the Wolves training ground in the last few days but is not expected to return to action anytime soon.
