Former West Brom striker Saido Berahino fined by Stoke for turning up late
Former Albion striker Saido Berahino has been fined by Stoke City and ordered to train with the under-23s after turning up late for an academy match.
According to the Daily Telegraph, the 24-year-old, who hasn’t scored a senior goal in more than two years, turned up late for an under-23s match with Aston Villa on Easter Monday.
He played in the game, which Stoke lost 3-1, but first team head coach Paul Lambert was not happy with his time-keeping, a problem which also reared it’s head at the Baggies.
The Potters signed Berahino in January 2017 for £12m, rising to a possible £15m. He was handed a five-and-a-half year contract but is yet to score a senior goal for them.
