Liverpool plan to sign West Bromwich’s Berahino
London: Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers wants Saido Berahino to solve his goalscoring problems in January.
The Reds boss has identified the West Bromwich Albion (WBA) striker as the man he wants to add goals to his misfiring forward line. And Rodgers is pushing for a deal to happen when the transfer window reopens in six weeks, reports Daily Mail.
WBA are desperate to keep Berahino, who has scored eight goals already this season, and will demand a high price. Berahino could cost more than 15 million euros, whi
le the Baggies will look to keep the striker by offering him an improved contract.
And if a deal is not possible in January, then Rodgers is expected to return for Berahino in the summer. WBA are facing an increasing battle to keep hold of their prized asset, with Tottenham Hotspur also keen on the striker.
Bolstering his attack is a priority for Rodgers in January. Daniel Sturridge is facing another six weeks on the sidelines with a groin problem, new signing Mario Balotelli is yet to score a Premier League goal for the club and Rickie Lambert has started just one league game this season.
Rodgers has admitted the chances of recalling summer signing Divock Origi are slim. All that has made Rodgers intensify his interest in Berahino, despite WBA’s insistence that they will not sell in January.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
