Mark Hughes said this morning he is "hopeful" of completing a deal for West Brom striker Saido Berahino.

Here are his views on the club's striker search.

"It's fair to say that we have been looking for a striker who can score 20 plus goals for some time now. 

"They are a little bit scarce on the ground and you have to work hard to get them over the line. 

"Those players attract a lot of attention. If a player becomes available then we will be in the market for them, but so are a number of other clubs too. 

"We just try to offer them a package and show them what we can offer them here. We hope that that is enough to get them through the door."
