# Everton: Gabby Agbonlahor slams Salomon Rondon after exit news

**Former [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) striker now [Sky Sports](https://icdb.tv/stats/6750/Gabby-Agbonlahor) pundit Gabby Agbonlahor has slammed Salomon Rondon after some news he has heard on the [Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) striker.**

### The Lowdown: Turkey talks

It has been [reported](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/adana-demirspor-transfer-news-rondon-premier-league/) that Rondon has opened talks with a number of clubs in Turkey ahead of a potential move before the Super Lig’s transfer deadline on Thursday.

Adana Demirspor are one of a number of teams thought to be keen on signing him, and have officially registered their interest in getting a deal over the line.

### The Latest: Agbonlahor reacts

Speaking to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/agbonlahor-lambasts-salomon-rondon-after-everton-sources-reveal-he-cant-move/), Agbonlahor gave a scathing review of Rondon’s time at Goodison Park, and claimed that the Merseyside club should let him go as they will be fine with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Neal Maupay:

*“I would be.*

*“Calvert-Lewin will come back. Maupay is a good player who will suit Everton.*

*“Rondon is not good enough. Even when he comes off the bench, he doesn’t move and get around, that’s just one of those things.*

*“I think Lampard knows that. He’d rather play with a false nine in Gray or Gordon than with Rondon.*

*“He should go and play some football somewhere else.”*

### The Verdict: Good riddance

If a deal can be done for Rondon to leave before tonight’s Turkish deadline, then it would certainly be good riddance.

[Everton news!](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/everton-news-7/)

He has only managed to score three goals and make one assist in 27 games in total for the Toffees ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/salomon-rondon/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/80197/plus/0?saison=&verein=29&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)), and has received [heavy criticism](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/fleetwood-0-1-everton-rondon-carabao-cup/) for some of his performances so already this season.

At 32 years of age, and earning just [over £20,000 per week](https://fbref.com/en/squads/d3fd31cc/2022-2023/wages/Everton-Wage-Details) at the Blues, it is time for Frank Lampard’s side to finally get the Venezuela international off of their books, and proceed with Maupay as sufficient cover for the injured Calvert-Lewin for now.
