It’s one of the more protracted transfers in recent times and Tottenham have kept their cards close to their chest about any potential interest.
But The Sun reports that West Brom’s want away striker, Saido Berahino, is holding out for a move to Tottenham in this window.
Perhaps put off by reported Stoke interest he is keen to make the switch this month:
SAIDO BERAHINO has set his sights on joining Tottenham this month.
Stoke and Newcastle are chasing the West Brom striker, 22.
But he is ready to snub any other offers to make sure he becomes a Spurs player.
The report states that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy made four unsuccessful bids for the player in the summer for the England U21 international and will apparently now look to pay less than the £23m offered at that point.
We think hat, if he can get his head down and focus, Berahino could be the signing of the transfer window in England.
He is very fast and is a great athlete who seems to glide through games. What has really surprised us about him is the quality of his finishing, which should have more big clubs interested.
Perhaps the wrangle with his own club last summer has generated apprehension amongst the elite to sign him. But, if Tottenham take the gamble, we think that it will pay huge dividends.
This is a player who we think will be a guaranteed starter for Tottenham, alongside Harry Kane, within a few months at the club.

The thing is, no spurs fans want Berahino at WHL. He is a one season wonder with a very poor attitude.

And I think the Spurs heirarchy recognise this, hence their attention turned to other UK and European targets..

Bera..amongst the top scorers last season is not an accident.
We have seen..he is a great athelete..has great finishing..n can take the heat off Kane..
True he has slowed down..coz he has been prevented from doing something he wants to do..ie to go to Spurs.
N he has been suffering..poor lad.
So Poch..West Brom wants Townsend..do a swap..
This is a last open chance to take him.
2 England colleagues to play together..twin strikers..Kane c
Will have some space to breathe.
N Bera wants it.
