Rondon opens up on difficult Newcastle adjustment

Salomon Rondon hopes he will settle in quick at Newcastle United where he arrived in the summer transfer window.

The Venezuelan attacker debuted for the Magpies in a 2-1 loss at home against Tottenham last Saturday.

"I was very happy, and proud to make my debut. It was a pleasure, and I have to keep going to help the team," said Rondon.

"Settling is a difficult process – you have to find a house, and get kids settled in the schools, but I hope it can be quick. It is a good move for me and I am very happy."

Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez was determined to sign the 28-year-old striker. And made him a priority target early on in the window.
