West Brom star Saido Berahino was one of the best attacking players in the Premier League last season and has attracted interest from top clubs.
Tottenham are eager to lure him and reports suggest that the North Londoners are lining up $23.3m bid to secure the services of the 21-year-old England international.
Berahino was on fire for the Baggies in the last campaign as he netted no fewer than 20 goals and provided 6 assists in 45 appearances.
Saido played in various attacking positions for Albions and hence he is exactly the kind of player Spurs need in their offense next season.
He played on the right wing, as a secondary striker and also as a central forward for West Brom. If he does sign for the North London side this summer, expect Berahino to partner Harry Kane upfront in a 4-1-2-1-2 formation or replace Lamela on the right wing in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Here is how we believe Tottenham will line up with Saido Berahino.

replace Rose in that line up with Ben Davies and I reckon you’ve got a great starting 11. COYS
Not a chance. Rose was the most improved player in the team, last season. And Poch likes his full backs to attack from the wings, so that his nominal wide men can take up inverted positions. Trippier has been brought in to do just that, on the right (and to help Walker lift his game.) Davies is a capable defender – but ponderous in possession or when advancing up the pitch. I know there has been a lot of “Danny Rose bashing” over recent seasons – but last season, he showed a lot of improvement. His pace is electric. Just look at the goal he scored against Chelsea. He started his sprint from within our half – and timed it to perfection, arriving in the Chelsea are at precisely the right moment, to put the ball away – this is precisely how Poch expects his full backs to play. Unless Davies has found another gear, during his holidays, then he can expect another season as principal back up to Rose. And this is, absolutely, the case, since Poch has described Rose as the best left back in England. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2993577/Danny-Rose-England-s-best-left-season-deserves-call-believes-Tottenham-manager-Mauricio-Pochettino.html

I was a huge rose basher. Thought he was ok going forward but couldn’t defend. Last season though he worked on that and did well. Deserves his spot over Davies at the moment at least. Do think trippier will take walkers spot though. That line up looks quite decent. With an experienced defensive midfielder
