West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino has paid tribute to his Mum after winning a first England call-up.
Berahino has been rewarded for his early season form by Roy Hodgson after scoring eight goals in 13 games for the Baggies.
When asked by BBC Radio 5 live about his path to the England national team set-up, Berahino replied: "Growing up wasn't easy and I wasn't the easiest kid to handle but she was always there for me.
"My mum and I have had a long journey. She has always been there for me and sometimes been tough with me to get me back on track.
"We have come from nothing. I have got to where I have because of her help.
"Now we have achieved something together and I can share this moment with her."
