Tottenham set to lodge £18m bid for Newcastle target in the next 48 hours

TOTTENHAM will renew their attempt to sign West Brom striker Saido Berahino, according to reports.

 

Saido Berahino has scored just three Premier League goals all season

 

Albion refused to sell Berahino to Spurs in the summer despite three bids from the north London club, with the last one around £22million.

The unsettled 22-year-old has scored just three Premier League goals all season and is desperate to quit the Hawthorns.

And according to the Daily Mirror Spurs are lining up an £18m bid for the striker within the next 48 hours to test West Brom’s resolve.

Berahino has become one of the most sought after strikers in recent weeks, with Chelsea and Newcastle also interested in signing the England international. 

 

But West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace is playing hardball with the striker who has just 18 months left on his contract, even though manager Tony Pulis has not been picking him regularly.

Peace is holding out for £30m for the forward but the Baggies could sell Berahino for less to generate funds for new signings.

Tottenham are desperate to add the former England Under-21 international to their squad, as they regard him as one of the best prospects in the Premier League.

His arrival would take the pressure off of Harry Kane, who is currently Spurs' only recognised striker.
