West Brom boss Irvine happy for Berahino over England call

West Bromwich Albion boss Alan Irvine says Saido Berahino deserves his England call.

The striker joins up with the England squad for the first time this week.

"It is important he remains focused, important he doesn't forget. It is very easy to be distracted by what happens outside a training ground or football pitch.

"My feeling is that this is a great opportunity for Saido to go and learn. That' s what top players do to reach this level. I will ask him what have you learnt? This is the best learning experience he can have.

"I have said here on a number of occasions as long as he keeps doing what he's been doing, living his life, keeps applying himself then good things will happen."
