What does the future hold for West Brom’s forgotten man?

West Brom’s Saido Berahino is seemingly greeted with a vast amount of sensationalised transfer speculation each and every time the next window opens among the Premier League. Could this be the year he finally departs the Hawthorns as many have previously suggested?

 

He certainly possesses enough potential to make a real success of himself within the English top-flight, but as the striker’s attitude has subsequently been called into question after his ongoing troubles behind the scenes at West Bromwich Albion, it remains to be seen just what will come of Berahino’s future this winter.

 

 

If he could be purchased on the cheap, some fans among the English top-flight wouldn’t say no to his once in-demand services this January…

 

Berahino, the same agent as Reece Oxford and out of contract in the summer. Could be bought on the cheap in Jan. Think he would thrive! ⚒

…but whilst Saido Berahino admittedly has a lot to prove within the Premier League…

 

Berahino is not a good option imo. Awful attitude and has scored about 5 goals since January 2015.

…perhaps he could indeed represent a rather shrewd move after all…

 

would be stupid to say no to Berahino

He hasn’t exactly excelled at West Brom in recent years, it’s true…

 

Berahino needs to hurry up and leave West Brom. I totally forgot about him.

…but that hasn’t stopped some supporters from wishing to see him at their club this January…

 

Love it if the toon sign berahino like

…even if many consider Berahino little more than just another overhyped young striker…

 

Saido Berahino has got to be the worst will-he-won't-he transfer saga of all time. He isn't even that good.

His proposed future among his current employers remains somewhat up in the air…

 

Why are West Brom offering Berahino a new contract & why would he sign when he never in the squad for WBA this season and only made 5 apps??

…yet although Saido Berahino isn’t quite everyone’s favourite cup of tea these days…

 

Berahino is overweight & unfit, therefore can't do his job but still gets paid.
What a job to have when you can't be bothered but get money.

…the player in question will certainly prove one to watch this January, one way or another…

 

Berahino is an underrated transfer target for us. He has so much ability, so much to prove & he's available on the cheap. pic.twitter.com/3y4A0lYRn8
