Salomon Rondon can leave West Bromwich Albion for £16.5 million this summer, when the club’s likely relegation to the Championship is confirmed.

Rondon, the Venezuelan international forward, is set to spark a scramble ahead of next season due to a release clause in his £70,000-a-week contract.

West Ham United are understood to be keen on signing the 28 year-old, while there has also been interest in the past from Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.

Rondon was signed from Zenit St-Petersburg for a then club-record of £12m in August 2015 but it seems inevitable that his three-year spell at the Hawthorns is coming to an end.

In January 2017, West Brom received an ambitious bid proposing a fee of over £30m from Chinese Super League team Tianjin Quanjian and now stand to receive almost half of that amount if, as appears likely, the club is relegated.
