Tottenham Want To Sign Saido Berahino

The Baggies' starlet is a wanted man...

Tottenham Hotspur are the latest club that are rumoured to be interested in West Brom's Saido Berahino. The Baggies' forward has made a name for himself over the last 12 months with a string of performances that have kept his club in the Premier League. Liverpool seemed to be in pole position to ease their striker crisis with the £25 million capture of the 21-year-old, who was called up to the senior England squad for the first time in November. But now Spurs are in the hunt. Darren Lewis from the Daily Mirror has been informed that the men from White Hart Lane are looking to hijack any bid The Reds' may make. He tweeted: "Word coming out of Tottenham is that they are now out of the hunt for Saido Berahino." Berahino was the top scoring Englishman in the the first few months of the 2014/15 Premier League season until Queens Park Rangers' Charlie Austin hit a purple patch of goals over the last month or so. The Burundian-born forward has scored eight goals from 21 appearances in all competitions so far this term after nine goals in 35 appearances last season. Any move for England's latest sensation is sure to cause a lot of debate. The old notion that domestic talent have highly inflated price tags is sure to raise its ugly head. To put Berahino's rumoured £25 million valuation in perspective, West Ham's Senegalese forward Diafra Sakho has scored seven Premier League goals in 13 appearances after costing The Hammers around £3.5 million in the summer. Saido's seven Premier League strikes have come from 18 appearances.
