Stoke City are on the verge of landing striker Saido Berahino from West Bromwich Albion in a £16 million deal, according to The Sunday People. The 22-year-old will sign a long-term contract at the bet365 Stadium and reportedly get a £70,000-a-week deal.
On Twitter, a bunch of Potters’ fans were excited about the arrival of Berahino:

But there were also some sceptical tweets:
So Berahino is off to Stoke! Does this mean he’ll be on loan to Cardiff in a few months time? #odemwingiesque

My worry is we’re potentially signing ANOTHER 1 in 4 (3 at best) goals a game striker. #Berahino #stoke #wba
