Crystal Palace are apparently lining up a £7million move for wantaway West Brom striker Saido Berahino, according to a report from David Kent of the Daily Mail.
The transfer saga of Berahino and a reported move to Tottenham lasted all last summer, but West Brom refused to let him leave, despite reported bids of over £20million.
However, the 22-year-old only has 12 months left on his current contract with Albion and as such, there is a chance that they could be forced to sell him in the summer in order to get a guaranteed fee rather than one set by a tribunal.
Alan Pardew is said to be a long-time admirer of Berahino and tried to sign him when he was in charge of Newcastle United.
Palace are clearly in the market for a new striker with both Emmanuel Adebayor and Marouane Chamakh set to leave and it seems that Berahino is the man they have their eye on.
