West Bromwich Albion striker Salomon Rondon has joined Newcastle United on loan for the rest of the season.

Dwight Gayle has moved in the opposite direction to spend the season on loan at the Hawthorns.

Speaking about the move, Rondon said: "It's an honour to be here and I'm excited to get started with my team-mates.

"The clubs were talking for a long time and now I'm focused on the season to help my team-mates to get the points to do well this season.

"It's one of the biggest clubs in the Premier League and I knew about the interest of the gaffer, so I'm happy to be here."
