EVERTON HAVE SIGNED Salomon Rondon from Chinese club Dalian Professional on a free transfer, with the Venezuelan striker putting pen to paper on a two-year contract with the option for a third season.
Rondon has been brought to Goodison Park after Moise Kean left to join Juventus on a two-year loan deal.
Everton manager Rafael Benitez previously worked with Rondon at both Newcastle and Dalian.
The 31-year-old centre-forward has 83 senior caps to his name and a national team record 31 goals for his country.
