Saido Berahino will join Stoke City in a £16million deal in the week ahead, writes Neil Moxley in the Sunday People.

The West Bromwich Albion forward has been offered a £70,000-a-week package to join Mark Hughes at the bet365 Stadium and will pen a long-term contract.

The two clubs have now reached agreement over a transfer fee that will see the 22-year-old make the switch to the Potters.

Earlier this week, the Baggies rejected a £15m offer, but after failing to elicit further interest from Premier League clubs, the deal was re-kindled.

Berahino had attracted interest from Newcastle United in the January transfer window, but Baggies chairman Jeremy Peace rejected a £21m bid.

Hughes has a history of taking on and developing wayward talents, with Stephen Ireland and Marko Arnautovic both seeing their form improve after working with him.
