Saido Berahino has been implored to seek representation by a former West Bromwich Albion superstar.

Ex-Baggies star Cyrille Regis is a football agent, working with Stellar Football group, and his fellow former Albion attacker Garry Thompson believes Berahino would be well-placed to speak with him about management after dropping his old agent Aidy Ward this week.

The controversial Ward takes care of the mess that is Raheem Sterling's situation at Liverpool and Thompson feels Berahino would benefit greatly from heeding advice from The Hawthorns great Regis.

"Cyrille would be perfect," Thompson told the Birmingham Mail.

"He has that air about him. You always want to impress Cyrille.

"I've known him for 30-odd years and people know the player and what a good one he was.

"What they don't necessarily know is the person and the man.

"He has got time for everyone and he is wise.

"Is there a better person for Saido to turn to? I doubt it. Cyrille played 500-600 games at centre-forward and the way he looks after players, particularly younger players makes him ideal."
