Saido Berahino 'wanted by overseas clubs'

Berahino 'wanted by overseas clubs'

West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino is reportedly attracting interest from clubs in England and abroad ahead of the January transfer window.

The 23-year-old has not played for the Baggies since September 10, having been sent to a conditioning camp in France to help him lose weight and build up his fitness.

However, he has now returned to the club and has played two games for the Under-23s as he looks to break back into the first team.

Berahino has been heavily linked with a move away from The Hawthorns in recent transfer windows, with Tottenham Hotspur seeing three bids rejected in 2015 before both Stoke City and Crystal Palace saw £20m offers turned down last summer.

However, the striker is out of contract at the end of the season and could sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign side from January 1 which would allow him to leave on a free transfer.

Should he join an English club then the fee would be decided by a tribunal, with the most expensive deal of that kind seeing Liverpool sign Danny Ings from Burnley for £8m in 2015.

Berahino's last goal for West Brom came against Chelsea almost 10 months ago.
