    Stoke have a lodged a £20m bid for West Brom striker Saido Berahino. It comprises a £17m payment and £3m in add-ons. 

    The deal is getting closer to owner Jeremy Peace’s valuation of the player but it’s complicated by West Brom’s need to bring in replacements for Berahino before he goes.

    West Brom want to sign West Ham’s Diafra Sakho as his replacement but the deal is being held up while West Ham wait for a replacement.

     It’s like buying houses. Crystal Palace and Watford are also interested in Berahino.
