Top Speed: 29.49 km/h

Age: 27

Club: West Bromwich Albion

Played primarily as a winger for Reading, he left them on a free this summer. After putting in some phenomenal performances for Wales in the European Championships, he was linked with the likes of last year’s Champions League finalists, Atletico Madrid and also with big money moves to China.

Robson-Kanu ended up signing for Tony Pulis’s West Brom and though not always the speediest, he’s excellent at holding up the ball and bringing his teammates into play. Of course, everyone will remember that goal against Belgium in the quarter-finals when he Cruyff turned two defenders, leaving them dead in their tracks before calmly slotting the ball home.
