Chelsea linked with shock move for West Brom striker Berahino

Chelsea could swoop for unsettled West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino during the January transfer window.

The Daily Express is reporting interim Blues manager Guus Hiddink has identified the Baggies front man as a player who can add depth to his depleted strike force.

Diego Costa is Hiddink's only fully fit striker, with Loic Remy only just returning from an ankle injury, while Radamel Falcao's comeback from a thigh problem is still weeks away.

Chelsea have a number of attackers on their winter wish-list, consisting of AC Milan's Carlos Bacca and Leicester City's Jamie Vardy, and now Berahino features high on the agenda according to reports.
