'Wait and see' - Salomon Rondon teases Newcastle United fans about a return

Former Newcastle United striker Salomon Rondon has teased a possible return to Tyneside - insisting fans will have to "wait and see".

The popular number nine impressed in his loan spell from West Brom last season, netting 12 goals and striking up an impressive partnership with Miguel Almiron and Ayoze Perez.

There were hopes among supporters of a transfer being struck for the Venezuelan international. However, the 30-year-old returned to West Brom before sealing a deal to link up with former Toon boss Rafa Benitez at Chinese Super League outfit Dalian Professional.

Rondon has recently spoken of his desire for a return to St James' Park, and the recent takeover saga has led to speculation of a deal being agreed.

The former Malaga forward insists his "present" remains with Dalian - but has again refused to rule out a return to United and the Premier League.

Rondon told TNT Sports : “There was a lot of talk about what happened at Newcastle with the purchase of the Saudi group.

“There are a lot of rumours about the interest, but you have to wait. My present at the moment is in China.

“I have worked very well with Rafa for a year and a half. But you have to wait and see what happens. I would not look badly on a return to the Premier League.”
