According to reports in The Sun, Everton are lining up a shock late January move for £15m-rated West Bromwich Albion striker Salomon Rondon, despite the fact they have already bought Cenk Tosun from Besiktas in a £27m deal.

The Sun says the Toffees are reportedly keen to bring the Venezuela international to Goodison Park before the transfer window slams shut on Wednesday after he caused all sorts of problem in his team's 1-1 draw against the Merseyside outfit last weekend.

The 28-year-old, who was also involved in the unfortunate incident that saw James McCarthy suffer a double leg break, has 18 months left on his contract at the Hawthorns, but continues to be a regular starter under Alan Pardew.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez is desperate to strengthen his frontline before the end of the month and has been heavily linked with a club-record deal for Feyenoord centre-forward Nicolai Jorgensen.

However, there has been progress in negotiations with the Eredivisie outfit for the 27-year-old Dane as of yet, and bringing Rondon to St James' Park instead could prove to be a shrewd move.

Here are three reasons Newcastle must forget Jorgensen and hijack Everton's move for the 6ft 1in attacker…

Premier League experience

Despite his impressive goal record for Feyenoord, Jorgensen has never played in the Premier League before and it would certainly be a huge risk to rely on him to score the goals to keep Newcastle away from the relegation zone in the coming months.

Coming from the Eredivisie and making an impact in the Premier League can be difficult – as the Magpies know all too well thanks to players like Siem and Luuk de Jong – and Rondon would certainly be less of a risk from that point of view.

The Venezuela international is quickly approaching 100 English top flight appearances for West Brom, and he knows exactly what to expect and what is needed to be successful at this level.

His qualities

While he has never been a prolific goalscorer for West Brom – which has been difficult for a lone centre-forward considering the Baggies were never a team that created plenty of chances under previous boss Tony Pulis – he has plenty more to his game than just being able to find the net.

The 28-year-old has scored 23 goals in 105 matches in total for the west Midlands outfit, but his work rate is impressive and he isn't afraid to throw his weight around and cause big problems for opposition defenders – as he did at Goodison Park last weekend.

That fight and his ability to hold the ball up and bring others into play could be vital for a club like Newcastle in their survival bid in the coming months.

Price tag

The Chronicle Live reported on Tuesday that Jorgensen could set Newcastle back a club-record £20m fee before the window slams shut on Wednesday, but Rafa Benitez should be tempted to switch his attentions to Rondon if it is true that he could be signed for a fee of around £15m.

To sign an experienced Premier League player who can make a difference for them in the next couple of months for that amount is a no-brainer, and the Magpies would be mad not to hijack any Everton move for the 28-year-old.
