Really hope this works out for Newcastle but considering he's listed as a centre forward and looking at his minutes per goal ratio on transfermarkt isn't too encouraging. They have him scoring a goal on average every 305 minutes. That works out at 11 goals in a 38 game league season if he played every minute of every game.
He's only 22 years old, and the apparently beloved Rondon had never scored over 10 goals in his three years with West Brom (despite making 38-40 appearances in each of those years). Now I don't know if he'll succeed or not, and I certainly can't judge his price before he's even kicked a ball, but I also don't think I want to rule out he'll score goals because he didn't have a highly productive record at such young an age. If he could contribute to 20 goals this year (through goals and assists) as he did with Hoffenheim last year, I'd be reasonably happy with that first season.
Also posted an article on Joelinton earlier which contained this
He is a dangerous player in the penalty area for sure, but slightly differently to Salomón Rondón. Joelinton is less of an out-and-out target-man type striker.
With Hoffenheim, he often started games as a centre-forward before dropping into a deeper role behind Andrej Kramarić or Ishak Belfodil. It’s in these areas – with space ahead of him – that he is at his best. His skillset is varied; he is a very good dribbler for his size.
He is much more adept at bringing others into play than the typical target man, and will occupy spaces across the front line. Nagelsmann did on occasion use him off the right, which shows his tactical flexibility. He has good all-round qualities.
Joelinton is not a 20-goal a season target man, but he is versatile and an interesting option to have in any forward line. Technically good, explosive at times and physical enough to cope with the demands of the Premier League.
