Tottenham confident closing £15M Berahino swoop inside 48hrs
According to a recent report from the Daily Mail, Tottenham Hotspur remain interested in West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino and when you think about it, a move for the England under-21 worldwide would be a no-brainer.
Tottenham want to unite Saido Berahino and Harry Kane in a striking dream team.
Tottenham look in need of new additions up front after some hugely disappointing performances from players like Emmanuel Adebayor and Roberto Soldado last season, with the pair scoring just three Premier League goals between them all season long.
The 21-year-old’s key strength is his ability to stretch defences with his pace, which would make him an ideal foil for Kane, who prefers to drop deep and get involved with play further away from goal.
Today’s edition of rumors and gossip indicates that a deal between Spurs and West Brom for Saido Berahino could be brewing.
Berahino will snub any offers from West Brom to double his £15,000-a-week wages after setting his heart on joining Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
But now the White Hart Lane club are back in the market and are ready to test West Brom’s resolve again with a firm bid.
Spurs have revived their interest in the the forward, who is over the knee injury that ruled him out of England Under 21s’ European Championship campaign.
Berahino featured in every league game for West Brom last season and his versatility allowed Tony Pulis to utilise him in a variety of positions.
