Saido Berahino could be set to stay at West Brom this summer as the club struggles to find a replacement, according to the Croydon Advertiser.
Crystal Palace and Stoke have been looking to sign the forward this summer, with Tottenham attempting to prise the Englishman away from the Baggies last summer.
Now, unless West Brom can find an adequete replacement, it looks likely that Saido will remain for the rest of the season until his contract runs out. He will then be able to leave on a free next summer with no shortage of potential suitors.
Palace had registered an interest in the Englishman but have now set their sights on Liverpool striker Christian Benteke. Though, a deal for Berahino could still be pushed through next summer.
A source within the club told the Croydon Advertiser:
Saido won’t be going anywhere until Albion find a striker. And if he does go, Stoke would be the favourites and have been quite open in saying they want him.
The club are set to be holding out for a fee in the region £20million, though both Palace and Stoke, as well as Saido, seem content with battling it out for his signature next summer in which the Baggies will receive no transfer fee.
