Campbell urges Berahino to stay put

Former West Bromwich Albion striker Kevin Campbell has urged Saido Berahino to stay at the club this summer.

The 22-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough season with the Baggies last term and has subsequently been linked with a number of Premier League sides, most notably Tottenham Hotspur.

However, Campbell believes that moving so early in his career could prove to be a mistake due to the risk of missing out on regular football at the top level.

"He could be a success at Tottenham but a lot of these young players tend to move a bit too quickly," Campbell told talkSPORT.

"He is playing in a Premier League side, he is getting games and experience is everything.

"He is only young so the more you play and the more you experience, then maybe later on in your career, two, three years down the line, if he wants to move then it is fine because he will be established."

Berahino scored 20 goals in 45 appearances for West Brom last season, 14 of which came in the league.
