Burundi approach West Brom striker Berahino

West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino has been invited to commit his international future to Burundi.

The Daily Mail says Berahino could be the subject of a tug of war after a delegation of officials contacted the youngster.

Having been born in Burundi's capital Bujumbura, and having spent the first ten years of his life in the war-oppressed country, the forward would still be allowed to switch allegiances.

Although he was called up to the Three Lions squad in November, he didn't win a cap and so under FIFA ruling he would still be allowed to change to the nation of his birth, who are currently 126th in the FIFA world rankings.
