It looks set to be a much-changed attacking lineup at West Bromwich Albion next season.

With Jay Rodriguez being re-signing for former club Burnley and Dwight Gayle returning to Newcastle following the expiration of his loan, the Baggies are facing life without a duo who provided 46 league goals between them last season.

Following the departure of Salomon Rondon - who spent last year on loan with Newcastle - Hal Robson-Kanu is left as the club's only senior striker from last season still at The Hawthorns.

Moves are however being made to strengthen the options available to new manager Slaven Bilic upfront, with Kenneth Zohore arriving on a four-year deal from Cardiff City.

But with both Rodriguez and Gayle making big contributions for West Brom last season, there will be questions about whether Robson-Kanu can be part of a double act that is able to do something similar to that for the Baggies in the coming campaign.

Here, we put the spotlight on the Welshman's performances last season to find out if he is good enough to play a part in West Brom's anticipated promotion push next season.

To begin with, it should be noted that not all of Robson'Kanu's 35 league appearances lasted for the full 90 minutes, which will have affected his ability to make an impact at times, but the initial stats here do not make promising reading.

In comparison with the landslide of goals Rodriguez and Gayle provided, Robson-Kanu was able to find the net on just four occasions for the Baggies, a figure that will need to be greatly improved if he is to step up lead the line regularly next season.

Worryingly, it doesn't appear as though an ability to provide for his teammates offers him much of a saving grace either, with the Welshman registering just one assist last season.

Admittedly, Gayle himself did only provide two assists, although Rodriguez was able to provide six throughout the course of the season, again demonstrating the importance of the Baggies' strikeforce last season.

Interestingly, despite the difference in terms of goals involvements between Robson-Kanu and the Baggies two now-departed danger men in terms of goals last season, there are certain similarities between the trio last season.

In both the air and on the ground, it appears there is actually little to split these three attackers. Over the course of last season, Robson-Kanu's 29.5% success rate with regards to aerial duels was only 1.9% worse than that of Rodriguez, with the Welshman even enjoying a 1.7% better return than Gayle in that respect.

Furthermore, Robson-Kanu's average of 18.37 passes per game is not much worse than the 20.74 averaged by Rodriguez, or the 19.26 average provided by Gayle.

In terms of styles of play therefore, it could even be suggested that Robson-Kanu is capable of fitting to a similar system to the one played by the Baggies deadly duo last season.

There is, however, one crucial improvement that Robson-Kanu is going to have to make if he is to fulfil that role next season, and it comes in one of the most important areas for a striker.

Over the course of last season, just 32.6% of Robson-Kanu's shots were on target, which is 7.4% less than Rodriguez, and a significant 14.7% less than Gayle. As a result, it is perhaps no surprise to see the Welshman score so many fewer goals than the other two, when he is struggling to even trouble the opposition 'keeper anywhere near is often.

It seems therefore that Robson-Kanu has the attributes and potential to fulfil a similar role to a Jay Rodriguez or a Dwight Gayle at the Hawthorns next season. But if he is unable to replicate the ability to find the target for his two predecessors, then his place in the side could soon be under threat, or else it could be a long hard season for the Baggies.
