Zulte Waregem offer lifeline to Saido Berahino

Former West Brom and Stoke City striker Saido Berahino hopes to revive his career in Belgium.

The Daily Mail says the Burundi international will train with Belgian club Zulte Waregem under the guidance of head coach Francky Dury in the coming weeks as he looks to get himself fit for the forthcoming season.

Berahino has already rejected offers from Russia, the USA, Italy and Turkey to take up the opportunity of training with the Belgian side during pre-season.

The former England Under 21 striker is fully focused on getting fully fit ahead of the new campaign as he tries to put a difficult 12 months behind him - and training abroad should provide the 25-year-old with an opportunity to clear his head following a roller-coaster period.

Stoke are in the process of trying to terminate Berahino's contract after the striker was banned from driving for 30 months and fined £75,000 for being three times over the legal alcohol limited when he was stopped by police in London in February.
