Gardner warns Berahino to remain grounded

Craig Gardener has urged in-form West Bromwich Albion teammate Saido Berahino to stay humble if he wants a "good career".

Berahino's stock continues to rise after the 21-year-old netted his seventh goal of the season in Monday's 2-2 draw at home to Manchester United.

Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are among those reportedly weighing up January moves for the red-hot forward, but Gardener hopes that his young teammate can remain grounded amid the spotlight.

"He's been brilliant. When he went through I just thought 2-1 straight away," Gardener told the Daily Star.

"I was never in doubt because I see him day in day out. If he keeps his feet on the floor he'll have a good career."

The England Under-21 international is contracted to the Hawthorns club until 2017.

Will Berahino remain at West Brom beyond January?
