Stoke reopen talks to sign Saido Berahino from West Brom as Mark Hughes insists 'I am hopeful that we will be able to get something done'

Stoke manager Mark Hughes has revealed talks have reopened with West Brom in a bid to finally thrash out a deal for Saido Berahino.

Hughes has shown interest in Berahino in the last two transfer windows and is keen to end his protracted chase for the striker by coming to an agreement with the Baggies this month.

The 23-year-old has been offered a new contract by West Brom, even though he has failed to make a first-team appearance since September, with the club keen to protect one of their prized assets.

But Stoke have resumed negotiations and are seeking a steer over the amount of money it would take to prise Berahino away from The Hawthorns.
