Man City emerge as shock rivals to Tottenham and Newcastle for West Brom striker Berahino
MANCHESTER CITY are lining up a move for West Brom striker Saido Berahino, according to reports.
Saido Berahino Player Profile
Berahino has been strongly linked with a move to Tottenham, while Newcastle have also emerged as potential suitors.
But the England under-21 international is now a target for City, according to The Daily Mirror, and could become the club's third high profile English acquisition.
Manger Manuel Pellegrini has already shelled out £49million on Raheem Sterling and a further £8m on Fabian Delph.
And the club are in search of more English players to ensure they meet home-grown quotas.
Saido Berahino is reported to now be a target for Manchester City
The Baggies hitman netted 14 times in the premier League last season and boss Tony Pulis is understood to be holding out for a fee in the region of £25m.
With Edin Dzeko on the verge of a move to Roma, City have space for a new forward.
The 21-year-old appears to fit the bill and the lure of Champions League football could be enough to secure a deal.
Last year's Premier League runners-up have also been linked with a big-money swoop on Wolfsburg for Kevin De Bruyne and a raid on Juventus for Paul Pogba.
