Saido Berahino, a wanted man

Cape Town - Reports are suggesting that Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are all desperate to sign West Brom striker Saido Berahino.

Berahino, who has just received his first call-up to the England squad, is also the top English goal scorer in the league so far this season with seven goals in the league and one goal in the League Cup to his name.

The 21-year-old burst onto the scene when he scored the winning goal at Old Trafford last season, and according to the Daily Star, is believed to be targeted by a number of different English clubs.

West Brom, meanwhile, seem confident the youngster will remain at the Hawthorns.

"I think Saido has the maturity to realise if he keeps doing what he does he will make progress here and all sorts of things will open up at international and club level,” Alan Irvine said.

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