Alan Irvine: 'Saido Berahino not ready for Tottenham Hotspur move'

Alan Irvine says that West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino is not ready to move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Former West Bromwich Albion boss Alan Irvine has said that Saido Berahino is not ready to move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Irvine, who was West Brom manager in 2014, believes that Berahino will develop best if he waits to move clubs.

"Is he ready to play a huge part at a club like Tottenham who want to be challenging for the top four? Probably not yet," Irvine told BBC Sport.

"I always said to Saido that as long as he kept focus and did the right thing then he would continue to develop.

"It's important that he plays. He's at the stage of his career where he needs to play regular games. He's got a talent. His movement is very good."

Berahino has recently been linked with a £10m move to Tottenham.
