Dalian Yifang striker Salomon Rondon admits he wants to join Newcastle United.

Rondon spent the entirety of the 2018-19 season on loan at Newcastle from West Brom and scored 12 goals in 33 appearances, which saw him crowned the club's player of the year.

Rondon said: "If you ask me again if I want to come back then of course. I have no doubt about going back to Newcastle.

"St James's Park is so big. I remember going there for the first time, I think my two kids were with me, I went for a walk in the stadium and I took a picture when I went in the entrance. Then you think 50,000 fans will be there and my daughter said: 'Dad, you will play here…?' I will try!

"It was fantastic for me. To play there as a player is fantastic.

"But of course my priority now is in China and we will see what happens with the virus and the league. But if you give me the chance to come back then I will take it."
