Tottenham want to unite Saido Berahino and Harry Kane in a striking dream team.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is desperate to strengthen his attack and is ready to make a firm bid for West Brom forward Berahino, a long-term target.

The Baggies are aware of Tottenham’s interest and are trying to tie down the 21-year-old - who has played alongside last season's goal-scoring sensation Kane for England Under-21s - with a new contract.

The Londoners were also keen on the England starlet in January, but West Brom held firm and refused to sell.

But now the White Hart Lane club are back in the market and are ready to test West Brom’s resolve again with a firm bid.

Berahino, who missed the European U21 Championship through injury this summer, would be seen in the £15m bracket.

The player is on £15,000-a-week and has two years left on his current deal, with West Brom keen to give him a pay rise and extension.

West Brom’s own moves in the market have been held up, with the club in takeover negotiations with a Chinese consortium.

That may also complicate talks surrounding Berahino’s future, but manager Tony Pulis is keen to hang onto him.

Tottenham are desperate to bring in a new striker - possibly even two - as they look for support and competition for Kane.

Roberto Soldado is on his way out after his disappointing £26m move two years ago while out-of-favour Emmanuel Adebayor is a target for the Baggies themselves and neighbours Aston Villa.
