Rondon reveals 'fantastic' Everton welcome given by Ferguson

Salomon Rondon has revealed how Everton coach Duncan Ferguson introduced him to his new teammates.

It was during his time at previous club West Brom that the now 31-year-old matched a Premier League record set by Ferguson himself.

Rondon told the Liverpool Echo: "Yeah, he said to the team: 'Hey guys, look here. The only two players to score a hat-trick of headers in the Premier League.

"I remember that moment, scoring three headers against Swansea and afterwards I found out that there were only two players to score a hat-trick of headers. It is a pleasure to be part of the history of the Premier League.

"Duncan said: 'Look, I am one and here's the other one'. He was joking [around] but it was fantastic."
