English Premier League side West Bromwich Albion said Monday they had signed striker Salomon Rondon for a club-record deal "worth around £12 million ($19 million, 17 million euros)".

Rondon has joined the Baggies on a four-year deal from Russian side Zenit St Petersburg.

The fee surpasses the £10 million that Albion paid for Brown Ideye before the start of last season.

Albion begin their 2015/16 Premier League season at home to Manchester City later Monday.
