"He's really enthusiastic about my game and I'm buzzing to come down and I can't wait to get started".
With the club's owner Mike Ashley actively looking to sell the club, it is believed that he has no desire to invest the kind of money into the team's recruitment that many of Newcastle United's rivals are spending.
Venezuela worldwide Rondon becomes Benitez's sixth summer recruit, following on from the signings of Martin Dubravka, Kenedy, Yoshinori Muto, Fabian Schar and Ki Sung-yeung.
Newcastle finished an impressive 10th on their return to the Premier League last season despite what Benitez saw as a lack of investment in the playing staff.
Formerly of Malaga, Las Palmas and Zenit St Petersburg, Rondon is on the move after three years with West Brom, as he was always unlikely to stay and play in the Championship following their relegation.

Newcastle United have signed Japan forward Yoshinori Muto from Mainz on a four-year contract, the Premier League side announced on Thursday (Aug 2). "They made me feel at home from day one and I'll be eternally grateful for how they supported my family and I".
The Baggies fans will forever be in my heart.
Newcastle have been chasing Rondon all summer but only wanted to take the striker on loan. "I wish you all the best".
Every top flight club must assist the Premier League's host broadcasters as they gather video footage ahead of the new campaign.
Less than 24 hours after manager Rafa Benitez had said "things are not going well off the pitch and you can see a reflection of that on the pitch" in the wake of a 4-0 friendly defeat to Braga, the Magpies have acted by bringing in Muto.
