West Brom No2 Downing doubts Berahino will earn England call

West Bromwich Albion No2 Keith Downing is unsure about the England hype around Saido Berahino.

Downing admits it would be a proud moment for the club if Berahino made the list, he says it would be a major surprise.

"Any achievement like that would be fantastic for him, but whether they will do it, I have my doubts," he told the WBA website.

"I know people burst on the scene, but the national press had never heard of him a couple of months ago.

"Now they're trying to make a story about a boy-wonder, but I think Roy will have a level-headedness about him and know how the lad works, and I'm sure will make a calculated judgement.

"It would be great for the boy to have recognition - but is it feasible? I have my doubts about it."
