20 English Players Newcastle Should Sign This Summer

2. Saido Berahino

Age: 21 Position: Forward Current Club: West Bromwich Albion (2010-) Previous Clubs: Northampton Town (loan, 2011-12), Brentford (loan, 2012), Peterborough United (loan, 2012) Estimated Market Value: £12-20 million League Appearances (Goals) 2014-15: 38 (14) England Under-21 Caps (Goals): 13 (10)

Newcastle, Everton, Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton are all monitoring Saido Berahino's situation at West Bromwich Albion - and it is believed a fee in the region of £15-£20 million should be enough to secure the 21-year-old's signature. If the Magpies did firm up their interest in the forward - who netted 20 goals in 45 games last season - then it would prove owner Mike Ashley€™s recent promise that he intends to invest significantly this summer was not just hot air. With 10 goals in 13 England Under-21 internationals - and having been called into Roy Hodgson€™s senior squad before without yet making his debut - Berahino is one of the hottest prospects in English football right now. The pacey forward is an exquisite finisher and his abilities on the pitch are undoubted but he has suffered from off-field problems, such as being arrested for alleged drink-driving. Having come up through the youth ranks at West Brom, Berahino enjoyed loan spells at Northampton Town, Brentford and Peterborough United before breaking into the Baggies first team. He has a career record of 41 goals from 114 appearances to date.
