‘Deal was sorted’: 30-year-old striker says he genuinely thought he was signing for Tottenham
Saido Berahino is⛎ one of the Premier League’s forgotte🤪n stars of the 2010s.
At one point, the striker was one of the brightest strikers in England as he was banging in the goals at West🐈 Brom.
As you can imagine, his good form at The Hawthorns led to plenty of in♓terest in his services from many top clubs at the time, and one cl🃏ub who were said to be very keen on Berahino was Tottenham Hotspur.
The north London club were strongly linked with a move for the striker, and now, speaking on the On The Judy Podcast, the striker has been speaking about how close a move was, and he says that everything was sorted behind the scenes, but, sadly, Sℱpurs didn’t agree a fee at the time.
Spurs move was sorted
Bera♍hino spoke about his potenꩵtial move to Tottenham.
“Before we even get to them bidding, I 🌊did the whole thing – behind the scenes thing – visiting the training ground, I did everything. Personal deal was sorte🀅d. All that was left was the clubs to agree a number,” Berahino said.
For the best
As much as Berahino looked promising at the time, ꩵthis move falling through was probably for the best for Spurs.
Berahino, ultimately, proved to be a bit of a flash in the pan, while Spurs, at the time, were preparing to make space in tဣhei꧒r squad for a striker by the name of Harry Kane.
Who knows what would have become of Kane’s caree🔴r at Tottenham if Berahino had arrived at around the same time for massℱive money.
Of course, Kane is miles better than Berahino, but🧔 there was a time that Berahino was, strangely, more proven at this level than the England captain right now.
Spurs probably had a bit of a lucky escape here.
