# West Ham linked with Hal Robson-Kanu

West Ham are being linked with a move for free agent attacker Hal Robson-Kanu this summer, according to [ITV](https://www.itv.com/news/wales/update/2016-08-16/wales-euros-hero-linked-with-west-ham-move/).

The 27-year-old was released by Reading after the expiry of his contract but put himself in the shop window like no one else ever has with a series of remarkable displays at [Euro 2016](https://readeuro2016.com/).

After coming off the bench to score Wales’ winner in their opening game against Slovakia, Robson-Kanu bagged himself arguably the goal of the tournament in the 3-1 quarter-final victory over Belgium with his stunning solo goal which featured a Cruyff-turn which left three Belgian defenders stranded as he stroked the ball home past Thibaut Courtois.

Robson-Kanu is a hot property in the transfer market right now and has been linked with the likes of [Swansea City](https://readswansea.com/), Hull City, [Watford](https://readwatford.com/), [Everton](https://readeverton.com/), [Southampton](https://readsouthampton.com/) and[Celtic](https://readceltic.com/), while there were links with [La Liga](https://readlaliga.com/) due [Atletico Madrid](https://readlaliga.com/) and [Sevilla](https://readlaliga.com/).

The former Reading attacker scored five goals and tallies seven assists for the Royals last season and is expected to make the step up to the Premier League this summer.
