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.
This. Sure goals are important but if he contributes in terms of build-up / link-up play, creating chances for our attackers, assisting and making himself a handful plus chipping in with some goals it would be a excellent signing. Looks like the type of attacker you can play in any position upfront weather it be on the wings, behind the forward or upfront on his own could work well. Not saying he'll be the next Firminho but you never know he's technically good, strong and decent turn of pace so could be our Brazlian Benteke / Lukaku so to speak but a lighter quicker version
