Foster: West Brom will eventually get top offer for Berahino

West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Ben Foster has stated that it is only a matter of time before Saido Berahino leaves The Hawthorns for a bigger club.

Berahino managed to enhance his reputation as one of the finest young strikers in England with a commendable 20-goal season for Albion this term and such exploits have meant that a host of top clubs are said to be eyeing up a move for the 21-year old.

Due to Berahino's fine form, goalkeeper Foster believes it won't be long before the striker eventually moves on to a bigger club but has urged him to focus on working hard for the time being.

"He has got bags of potential and is still so raw, he is still only a young lad," said Foster.

"If we can just polish him up a little bit more you can see even more from him. As for the big clubs coming in for him? Eventually it is probably going to be inevitable.

"As long as he keeps his head down and keeps doing what he does, the Saido Berahino you see now from two years ago when he had a few little injuries and was a little bit heavy but now he has shed all that body fat, he works his socks off in training, he works so hard.

"If he just keeps doing that and keeps performing in the Premier League week-in, week-out it is inevitable you are going to get the big clubs come knocking and eventually there is going to be an offer too good to refuse."
