Wales striker Hal Robson-Kanu.

Wales national team striker Hal Robson-Kanu recently disclosed that he had received "offers from around the world" after his impressive performance in the 2016 UEFA European Championship.

The 27-year-old forward had a tremendous stint in this summer's Euros so far, scoring two goals in five games so far for the Dragons. He is being utilized by head coach Chris Coleman as the main striker right in the head of the 3-5-1-1 formation with superstar teammate playing behind him as the secondary striker.

Coleman's tactics have worked so far as they nipped Northern Ireland, 1-0, in the round-of-16 games and routed FIFA world no. 2 squad Belgium, 3-1, in the quarterfinals with Robson-Kanu scoring the middle goal, as per BBC Sport.

This is the deepest the Wales team had gone in any major continental tournament in a long while and the 6-foot-1 Acton, England native is one of the key players for his country.

Robson-Kanu is currently a free agent and he had recently admitted that there had been offers from everywhere with several "progressive clubs" approaching him even before the tournament started.

"There's offers from around the world," the former Reading FC winger said, as reported by Caught Offside. "I've made no secret of my desire to play in the Premier League and if that's the best place for me then I'll be there."

He then said that he had chosen to part ways with the Royals before joining Wales this summer  because he felt that he had already "given a lot of service" to the club being there for the last 12 years. He also said that he is looking forward to which team he can show his wares next.

"I've been aware of clubs coming in for me in the past, bigger clubs and for whatever reason it didn't happen so it's probably one of the best decisions of my life," Robson-Kanu said, referring to his choice of waiting until the Euros are over to find a new club.

"It's funny, a lot of people are making a big deal of it. I had offers before the tournament started. Good offers from good, progressive clubs, but I made a decision to wait until after the tournament," he added.
