Saido Berahino Called Up For England's Next Euro Qualifier 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Nov 6, 2014 4:30 pm

Saido Berahino of West Bromwich Albion has been given his first call-up to England for their 2016 Euro qualifier against Slovenia.

The 21-year-old striker has scored eight times for West Brom this season, seven of them coming in the Premier League.

Berahino has a remarkable personal story, having fled civil war-torn Burundi to take asylum in England. His father died in the fighting. He spoke no English when he arrived at the age of 10 but his footballing ability helped him to make friends and integrate.
