Berahino form can win him England call - West Brom's Irvine

West Bromwich Albion manager Alan Irvine if of the belief that Saido Berahino will soon be given a chance to play for England.

The 21-year old striker scored his sixth goal of the Premier League season in Monday night's 2-2 draw with Manchester United which suggests to Irvine that he will one day represent the Three Lions at senior level.

"He is in great form. He deserves what he is getting, his application has been really top class. He's behaving like a top professional day after day," he said.

"If he scores goals every week then he has a great chance (of a senior call) but Roy will decide when is the right time for him."

Burundi-born Berahino has played 12 times for the England U21 side, scoring 10 goals.
