Robson-Kanu opts for West Brom

Hal Robson-Kanu's exploits at Euro 2016 with Wales have earned him a crack at the Premier League with West Brom.

The striker scored two goals in five appearances as Wales reached the semi-finals in France, including a sensational strike that secured their place in the last four.

Robson-Kanu's performances during the Euros reportedly put a host of Premier League clubs on high alert, particularly given his Reading contract expired at the end of last season.

Newly promoted Hull City were heavily linked with a move but it is Tony Pulis' West Brom who have won the race for his signature, the 27-year-old signing a two-year-deal at the Hawthorns, with the option of a further year.

"It was an important decision for me and my family and we took our time," said Robson-Kanu.

"But it's a fantastic club and manager and I'm really happy to be here. 

"I'm particularly pleased to be back in the Premier League. I am grateful for everything that Reading have done for me and I enjoyed my time there.

"But it's great to take this step."

"I am very excited to be here at Cardiff City.," Lambert told Cardiff's official website.

"The sooner I can get on the score-sheet and start helping my new club, the better. I'm used to being relied on to score goals."
