Chelsea and Man United in the clear for January signing after Tottenham ruled out

Saido Berahino is on Chelsea and Man United's radar

CHELSEA and Manchester United have received a boost in their pursuit of Saido Berahino.

 

The Baggies striker is on both club's radar after struggling in front of goal this season.

Berahino has been out of the West Brom side as Tony Pulis has favoured Salomon Rondon in attack.

The England under-21 striker wanted to move to Tottenham in the summer but Baggies chief Jeremy Peace rejected their bids.

 

And Spurs are expected to go back in for him in January.

But, according to the Mirror, Peace will refuse to do business with Tottenham after he accused them of unsettling Berahino.

That will leave the path clear for Chelsea and United to fight it out. 

 

Chelsea are desperate for reinforcements with Radamel Falcao expected to leave and Loic Remy failing to get in Jose Mourinho's team.

Diego Costa has also been out of sorts, scoring just three times in the league.

United, meanwhile, need more pace in attack with only Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney in the squad following James Wilson's move to Brighton.

Berahino, 22, has scored three times this season but hasn't started a game since October 31 and it is understood Pulis would let him leave when the window opens.
