Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown can see West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino joining Liverpool.

Keown wrote in the Daily Mail: "When a player shows talent, sometimes you have to take the gamble and invest in the whole package. Liverpool are just one of the clubs looking at Berahino and after the Mario Balotelli experiment failed, they will look at any future transfers closely.

"But Berahino is a totally different proposition. Many of his problems are in the past and I have seen increasing signs of maturity. After scoring the winner against Hull, his first thoughts after the game were for his team.

"He talked about the importance of defending well and keeping a clean sheet. You want youngsters to be team players and that is what Berahino is becoming.

"That is why Tony Pulis should not let him go. If a huge offer comes in, it may be out of his hands but Berahino's goals can be the difference between West Brom staying up or going down."
