# Palace linked with £7m move for striker

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](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3607663/Crystal-Palace-considering-7m-swoop-West-Brom-striker-Saido-Berahino.html).

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.
