Berahino aiming higher

Cape Town - West Brom striker Saido Berahino has one eye on the game and one eye on a move to a bigger club.

Saido Berahino believes West Brom fans will not hold his proposed exit against him if he keep the club up this season, according to teamtalk.com.

The 21-year-old striker has found the back of the net 14 times this season and has also been capped by the England national team in his breakout season.

Now, the striker wants to move to a bigger club.

I’ve got to stay focused on what I’m doing right now, which is scoring the goals and keeping West Brom in the Premier League,” Berahino told Sky Sports News HQ.

“If I can keep them in the Premier League and score as many goals as I can, I’m pretty sure the fans wouldn’t mind me pushing on and going on to bigger things.”

With both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur reportedly interested and the player himself keen to "push on", Baggies fans better start preparing for life after his goals.

Berahino's current contract at The Hawthorns runs until June 2017, but young English star has already rejected the chance to extend his stay.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
