Salomon Rondon might have only spent two seasons with West Brom, but the towering striker certainly left an impact with the club before departing for Newcastle on loan and then the Chinese Super League.

Salomon Rondon fondly reflecting on his time at West Brom:
βWest Brom gave me the chance to play in the best league in the world.
βI really liked Birmingham. I learned English and everything was fantastic, the atmosphere, the food.
βThe fans were really supportive.β pic.twitter.com/IYnuuh18Yh

And the Venezuelan international has fond memories of his time with the Baggies, with Rondon revealing to The Athletic that he enjoyed his time living in Birmingham and loved the West Brom supporters, who said were supportive in his two years with the now Championship club.
Is Jake Livermore Premier League quality?
Yes
No
And plenty of West Brom fans loved what the 30-year-old striker had to say about the club, with lots of supporters pleading with the South American attacker to rejoin the Albion now that Slaven Bilic is at the helm with his attacking style of play seemingly more suited to Rondon’s role on the pitch.
Here’s what many West Brom supporters had to say about Rondon’s comments on Twitter…
Imagine if we had him this season! π±
He always gave so much energy and effort and always had a smile on his face!β JonW1995 (@JonW1995) February 20, 2020
Wish he was still with us, I honestly think Slav would’ve got the best from him.

If he played under an attacking manager he would have been better, sorry he had Pulis/Pardrew

Rondon rejoined with former Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez in the summer when the duo both signed for CSL side Dalian Yilfang.
