Herbie Kane helped one of last year's surprise packages to a play-off spot when a bottom-four finish had seemed more likely pre-season.

Few tipped Doncaster Rovers to thrive in League One, but along with Mallik Wilks, John Marquis and Ben Whiteman, Kane drove them forward. The Liverpool youngster didn't have the same profile as Ryan Kent or Harry Wilson before the season started, but a solid campaign has ensured that Championship clubs are now in the hunt for the 20-year-old.

Doncaster are out of the running with the likes of Charlton and Brentford now on the youngster's tail, but would he have what it takes to impact them this season, or would a return to League One be more suitable?

We look at his stats in another spotlight piece to get a better insight into the midfielder.

Kane played in a number of positions across the midfielder for Doncaster last season and in order to understand his stats, it's important to see where he was deployed. The most common position he found himself in was in the left central midfield role. He operated on the right as well, plus he spent time further back in front of the back four. That all-round ability is something the likes of Charlton would find very useful, especially if they choose to go 4-2-3-1 again next season.

It's always said the only stats that really matters is goals and Kane managed six in 37 outings for Doncaster across all competitions. He added seven assists too, meaning he had a hand in a goal roughly every three games. Bearing in mind he was 19-years-old when he joined and that he played a different role in the middle of the park, that's impressive.

Brentford, certainly towards the end of the season, favoured a 5-4-1 formation, occasionally swapping to a 3-4-3. Both would suit Kane, offering lots of opportunity in three or four different roles, but as a slick passing side how would he fit in with the Bees? Well, with a hugely impressive 82.5% passing accuracy, it's fair to say he'd be at home with their philosophy.

Both Charlton and Brentford have a wide midfield man, in the case of Charlton's 4-2-3-1 that was usually Jonny Williams. They also played Joe Aribo behind their two strikers, another role Kane could fill. He'd need to be able to carry the ball forward and get shots off though. Whilst his dribbles per game, 4.28, suggests he is comfortable bringing the ball forward, just 21.1% shot accuracy highlights an area to work upon.

Would he suit the two sides? Yes, he could certainly fill a role with both. Charlton might be a better fit, especially if they go 4-2-3-1 as Josh Cullen and Joe Aribo have both left, opening up more first team chances and opportunities to shine.
