NEWS NEWS BLOG SPORT bring you all the latest transfer news from White Hart Lane.
Liverpool are ready to hijack Tottenham's bid to sign West Brom striker Saido Berahino, according to reports.
The Reds are considering an approach for 22-year-old Berahino as Daniel Sturridge's Anfield future is cast into doubt.
It is thought manager Jurgen Klopp has had enough of Sturridge's persistent injury woes and wants to offload the forward for around £25million.
And the Daily Mirror claim Liverpool could make a move for West Brom's ace.
Tottenham are known suitors of Berahino, having had a £22m offer for the striker rejected last summer.
West Brom are determined to keep hold of their ace, who is also wanted by Stoke and Newcastle, but are supposedly realistic about those chances.
Another striker said to be on Spurs' radar is 21-year-old Sassuolo ace Domenico Berardi.
According to reports, manager Mauricio Pochettino has made a £26m bid for the Italian.
Berardi has scored three goals in 12 appearances for Sassuolo, whose coach Eusebio Di Francesco revealed his concern about the player moving abroad.
“Berardi has great talent and is doing well at his home,” he told Radio Uno.
“Temperamentally, he must overcome the fear of facing changes, but in terms of the quality he has, he could play anywhere."

While Pochettino eyes big-money deals to provide forward Harry Kane with a suitable strike partner, the boss is also reportedly seeking a cheaper alternative.
Fulham frontman Moussa Dembele is thought to be on Pochettino's radar, with a January offer imminent.
According to the London Evening Standard, Manchester United and Crystal Palace are also keen on the Cottagers ace.
United's interest stems from Louis van Gaal's insistence that he needs greater firepower to end their dismal run of form.
The Old Trafford club have won just two of their last 10 games, with Wayne Rooney's stoppage-time penalty seeing them past League One side Sheffield United 1-0 in the FA Cup on Saturday.
Their lack of goals mean United are willing to spend big in January, while Palace boss Alan Pardew is also seeking additional recruits.
However, Spurs remain 4/1 favourites to sign Dembele if they can crack negotiations with a resolute Fulham.
