Stoke, Spurs & West Ham set for £25m transfer war over prodigious PL poacher

|

Loser - Saido Berahino

According to reports from Mirror Football, Stoke City, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham are all targeting West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino ahead of the summer transfer window. 

The Burundi-born assassin has bagged 22 goals in 88 Premier League appearances since exploding onto the scene with a debut goal against Manchester United in 2013 and netted twenty times across all competitions last season.

The 22-year-old notoriously came close to sealing a transfer to Tottenham Hotspur in summer 2015, leading to his infamous Twitter rant at Baggies chairman Jeremy Peace, and the Lilywhites are widely expected to revive their interest at the end of the season.

But according to Mirror Football, West Ham are also monitoring the former England U21 amid plans to substantially strengthen their forward line, which were revealed co-chairman David Sullivan earlier this week.

Likewise, Stoke City – who allegedly saw a £20million bid for Berahino rejected during the January transfer window – are ready to try again for the prodigious poacher. The Potters have sealed a number of coups in recent transfer windows, such as Xherdan Shaqiri and Gianelli Imbula, and Berahino would be amongst their biggest to date.

The 5 foot 11 forward is almost certain to be sold during the summer transfer window, when his Hawthorns contract will have entered its final twelve months, and recent reports have valued him at £25million.
