It is understood that the Toffees are open to allowing the 33-year-old to move onto pastures new, preferably during the January transfer window, and they have received offers from clubs in Qatar.

Rondon’s £43,000-per-week contract is due to expire next summer, but Everton hold an option to extend the agreement by 12 months.

Brown believes the Everton fanbase would welcome Rondon moving onto a fresh challenge as he has failed to rediscover his best form.

The journalist feels the former Newcastle United and West Bromwich Albion frontman is not good enough to cut it in the Premier League anymore and, as a result, a move away should be in the offing.
