10 Relegated Players Who Deserve To Play In Premier League Next Season

5. Salomón Rondón (WBA)

Those who have followed Salomón Rondón's career for a few years tend to agree that the Premier League hasn't quite seen the best of the Venezuelan just yet. We've seen glimpses of Rondón's abilities to punish opposition defenders and get himself in great positions, but he's never really been able to go on a good scoring run.

Having netted just 24 goals in 108 Premier League appearances and failed to hit double figures in any of his three seasons in the Black Contry, Rondón's time in England has been relatively unspectacular, but it's important to remember the sort of systems and teammates he's been playing with.

The Baggies have never been known as a dynamic, attacking side, and Rondón has done the best he could with the role he was given, often asked to sit up top all on his own and make the most of the odd long ball.

Despite his underwhelming stats, the 28-year-old is only four goals away from becoming his country's all-time top goalscorer and could clearly be doing so much more with better players around him. He's been linked with a move to Newcastle, where he could prove effective, and could also benefit other teams in need of goals like Burnley or Brighton.
