Newcastle United striker Salomon Rondon believes the club should forget about their spending troubles this summer.

Despite signing seven players, the Magpies made a net profit of £20million this summer, while many of their rivals splurged an excessive amount of new signings.

"We know that Cardiff are promoted this season, and it is a difficult league for everyone – all of the teams have spent a lot of money to make a good team for the season," said Rondon.

"It will be difficult, but we just have to think about us – that is more important for the team. It is away, but we just have to think about the win – that is the only way."
