Manchester City have pulled out of the running for West Brom striker Saido Berahino.

The Daily Mail says Tottenham will have a clear run at the striker.

Berahino's future will become a pertinent issue during the closing stages of the transfer window.

And Tottenham's pursuit of the England international has been boosted by the news that City have cooled their interest in the forward.

Spurs are pushing hard to complete a move for Berahino before the transfer deadline but the Baggies' £25million valuation is proving a crucial stumbling block.
