Relegation from the Premier League is an extremely disappointing fate to suffer, and many clubs fail to recover from the demotion to launch a bid for an instant return to the top flight.

Former relegated sides including: Sheffield Wednesday, Sheffield United, Leeds, Nottingham Forest and Wolves have all fallen out of the top flight and then fallen again to League One, highlighting just how challenging the second tier of English football can be.

New Middlesbrough boss Garry Monk is keen to ensure his side to do suffer a similar fate, and has spent big this summer as he attempts to guide his side to an automatic promotion spot this season.

Armed with a deep pot of parachute payments, Monk has pulled out the chequebook many times this summer, and the addition of Britt Assombalonga for a fee in the region of £15 million is particularly impressive.

The striker scored 14 times in the league for former club Nottingham Forest last year despite suffering an injury hit season, and his record of a goal every 130 minutes was one of the most impressive records in the division.

Back to full fitness and surrounded by creative quality, Assombalonga is set to shine on Teesside this year, and is a prime candidate for the prestigious Golden Boot award.

If the 24-year-old remains fit for the entirety of the campaign, Assombalonga has the potential to easily surpass the 25 goal mark, a figure that would surely be enough to fire his side to a place in the top six.

Big, powerful, and extremely able in the box, Assombalonga will be fighting for a place at the top of the goal scoring charts this year.

How many goals can Assombalonga score this season?
