Alan Pardew's side hope to capitalise on the 22-year-old's poor form in front of goal that could be putting off former suitors Tottenham, Newcastle, and Stoke.

Berahino has only scored one Premier League goal since October, and his usually reliable finishing has been wayward in recent weeks.

He started on the bench for Saturday's 3-0 home defeat to West Ham, but even so the speculation from last year looks set to continue this summer as clubs weigh up whether the young English striker is still worth a bid.

Palace are in desperate need of a goalscoring striker having relied too heavily on midfielders and defenders this season.

Pulis reckons the lengthy transfer saga has played with Berahino's mind and wants him to clear his head once the season is over.

"I hope he goes on holiday and has a nice break and enjoys himself," said Pulis. "That's what I think that Saido needs to do.

"It's going to be same old same old, if we come back for pre-season and Saido's still here it will be the same questions that I've had to bat away for the past 18 months."

Pulis wants to overhaul the attacking options at the club but he has previously stated that he'd like Berahino to sign a new deal to keep him at The Hawthorns.
