​Ex-Stoke, West Brom forward Berahino open to England return

Former Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino says that he is open to coming back to England.

The 26-year-old left for Belgium after taking on a bad reputation in British football.

But he could be sold by his club Zulte Waregem due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

"England is where I first fell in love with football so, yes, if the opportunity arose I would definitely consider it," he told the Daily Mail.

"So far I've had a great time in Belgium, I've showed that I can adapt in a different league," he added.

"I can only thank my team-mates and coach for believing in me. I miss the atmosphere and the buzz before games that I grew up learning my trade.

"We take it for granted how passionate and amazing the fans make the game so beautiful."
