Berahino & Chiriches

Saido Berahino is keen to join Spurs but he is not the first name on our list and there is the problem of a fee to overcome.

Despite Pullis wanting to keep Saido Berahino, his agent and player himself want a move to Tottenham.

WBA are offering the 21-year-old (22 in August) striker a new double your wages £30,000-a-week contract in an attempt to convince him to stay at the Midlands club. He has only just changed his agent and has seemed set on a move away since January. Some sources suggest we have already made an informal £15-million (US$23.27m - AUS$31.84m - €21.17m) bid.

Fiorentina think Vlad Chiriches is overpriced and hope to wait later in the window to get him cheaper. They have enquired about a season-long loan with an option to buy at the end of it which has been turned down.



They hope we will agree if they include an obligation to buy, much as we did with Lewis Holtby. With Holtby we agreed a set fee and would want to do so again. The 25-year-old has a contract until 2018 and we are keen to offload him so as with the other players we have sold, if we can recoup all or most of our money we will agree to a deal.
