Saido Berahino focused on joining Stoke City

Saido Berahino is expected to hold crunch talks with West Bromwich Albion amid firm interest from Stoke City. The Potters had tabled a £16m bid for the striker about ten days ago.

The 22-year-old has been tipped to leave the Hawthorns over the summer after he refused to extend his contract beyond the end of next season.

According to The Mirror, the Burundian-born footballer will speak to Baggies officials next week as they have yet to respond to the Potters approach for his services.

Berahino is keen on a move to Stoke with the Potters willing to offer him a five-year contract worth £70,000-a-week.

On the other hand, Potters boss Mark Hughes is equally interested in the player as he bids to strengthen his frontline ahead of the new season.
