Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez says it's too soon to talk about a permanent deal for Salomon Rondon.
Rondon struck twice for victory over Bournemouth on Saturday.
"Now is not the time to talk about that, just enjoy the goals he scored," Benitez replied when asked if he'd have preferred to sign Rondon on a permanent deal.
“He was the No 1 target because of the price. I liked the player, I was in contact with his agent [over the summer], and in contact with his agent working on the possibility. It was more difficult.
“But when they [West Brom] were so interested in Dwight Gayle, we knew there was a possibility because we had the second striker with pace and mobility in [Yoshinori] Muto at the same time.
“It was a chance to get a second striker with experience of the Premier League."
