Spurs expect to land their No.1 transfer target Saido Berahino in the next week.

A £20million plus transfer deal is being finalised and personal terms in the region of £100,000 a week are believed to be agreed for West Brom’s England Under 21 striker.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino made his move after finally ending Roberto Soldado’s misery in North London. He is set to return to his native Spain to join Villarreal. The La Liga club are struggling to meet the £15 million fee Spurs want for Soldado but a £4 million loan deal for the season is a possibility.

Emmanual Adebayor is another striker Spurs want off the payroll.

That would leave Pochettino short of front-line option. He landed £12 million Cameroon international Clinton N'Jie from Olympique Lyon on Saturday and now wants to add Berahino to a squad that he feels will then be able to challenge for a top four place and mark the return of Champions League football to White Hart Lane.

Berahino is also thought to be a target for Manchester City but the attraction of Spurs is that he is will get more first team footall.

That will boost the Burundi-born star’s chances of making a bid to be part of England manager Roy Hodgson’s squad that looks certain to qualify for the European Championship finals in France next summer.

The one sticking point is the fee. Albion want £25 million while Spurs are reluctant to go above £20m. A compromise could be reached by including £5 million-worth of add-ons to reflect Berahino’s goals and appearances to eventually bring the fee to what Albion want.
