West Brom striker Berahino sweating on first England call

West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino is sweating on a first England call.

Roy Hodgson is considering handing him an England call this month and the striker said selection would allow him to 'repay' the nation, having moved here aged 10 to escape war-torn Burundi.

"It would mean the world to me," said Berahino. "England, the UK as a whole, has given me a second chance in life.

"I am helping my family and we are living a good life. It would be great for me to repay in that way."
