"I've had some great times in my career there and am very grateful for what has been a fantastic time," Robson-Kanu said.

"Personally I know what qualities I have.

"I've played in the Premier League and scored seven goals in one season and know what I'm capable of at international level.

"I'll let my agent deal with that side of things. We'll see what happens after that."

Robson-Kanu has been included in Wales' 29-man squad that will travel to Portugal for a pre-Euro 2016 training camp.

Manager Chris Coleman's final 23-man squad for the tournament will be announced on Tuesday, 31 May.

"We're looking forward to getting together and the start of what will be a special summer," Robson-Kanu said.

"I'm looking forward to it and can't wait to get going. Hopefully we can achieve something special."
