The Sports Lowdown For All Your News and Opinions2. Saido Berahino to Tottenham
Berahino has been heralded as one of the best youngsters England have and Tottenham have recognised his talent in making an £18m bid for the 22-year-old. The North London club hope to partner the West Brom forward upfront with fellow England striker, Harry Kane.
There’s no denying that a Kane and Berahino partnership would flourish and produce plenty of goals for Spurs as the two strikers have two very different playing styles with Berahino being more of a pacy forward, aiming to run in behind the defensive line and get on the end of Eriksen’s through-balls whilst Kane is more dominant in the air and will contribute more defensively.
Tottenham have had a first bid of £18m bid rejected by West Brom but they plan on making a second bid of £22m in hope that they Midlands club will eventually accept their demands. The 22-year-old striker scored 14 goals in 38 Premier League games and has been likened to Jermaine Defoe.
