Rondon about his transfer,
"I am very happy to be here,"
This is a new opportunity in my career. I can’t wait to be with the other players and to play.
The club showed a lot of interest in me, that’s what is important for a player, what you take into account, and there are expectations of me."

West Brom coach Tony Pulis said,
"He’s got a fantastic goalscoring record in some of the top
leagues in Europe and for his country. He’s 25 years of age and
still to fulfil his full potential.
We hope he hits the ground running of course but understand it
might take him time to settle. I’m sure our fans will help him and
get behind him.
But we feel with age on his side and the prices English clubs are
asking for their players, it’s a deal worth doing.
He comes highly recommended. I have spoken to Manuel (Pellegrini)
and AVB (Andre Villas-Boas), who have worked with him, and they were
full of praise for the lad. We are looking forward to working with
him."
