West Brom striker Berahino can give Hodgson Euro headache - Redknapp

Jamie Redknapp feels that West Bromwich Albion forward Saido Berahino can give England manager Roy Hodgson a selection headache ahead of Euro2016 this summer.

The 22-year-old scored a lovely goal and put in an impressive overall performance in the 3-2 win over Crystal Palace on the weekend and former Liverpool midfielder Redknapp feels he could perhaps be a wildcard for the Three Lions' squad for the Euros in France.

Redknapp writes for Daily Mail: "I've watched Saido Berahino closely in his last two matches and it's so good to see him back in form. Because this boy is a talent.

"His issues off the pitch have hindered him this season but it looks like something has finally clicked with him.

"He is working hard and playing with a smile on his face. He's doing extra shooting practice and when I spoke to him on Saturday Night Football, he gave an honest assessment of himself. He knows it's been a hard season but he wants to put the past behind him and move forward.

"Berahino only has to look at Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane to see the benefits of hard work. He has the ability, he just needs to match it with effort. It may take an injury to someone for him to get his England chance but keep this up and he could give Roy Hodgson a selection headache."
