West Brom’s “unbelievable” star could soon be sold for more than Berahino.

Carlos Corberan should be commended for the stellar job he continues to do at West Bromwich Albion, with the Baggies in a sweet second spot in the early Championship standings so far, despite a summer of upheaval.

A whole host of first-team faces exited the Hawthorns in quick succession during the off-season, which included the likes of Brandon Thomas-Asante, Okay Yokuslu and more all moving on after helping the Baggies achieve a play-off spot last campaign.

This isn’t just exclusive to West Brom’s predicament in 2024, however, with the West Midlands side having to bounce back from Saido Berahino’s high-profile exit in 2017 after he had become a disruptive influence in the dressing room at the Hawthorns.

Berahino’s exit from West Brom
Berahino was once a loved figure in the West Midlands, a product of the West Brom academy that was starring for his side in the top league of English football.

The now 31-year-old striker would bag 36 strikes from 121 games playing for the Baggies, with 20 of those coming during the 2014/15 season in all competitions, as Berahino peaked for his boyhood employers.

From then on, however, the fall-out of his Albion career would occur, with only four strikes coming his way the season directly after he registered 20, as he then continually pushed for a move away from the Hawthorns.

He would eventually get his wish when West Brom finally accepted a switch for Berahino to move to Stoke City for a fee in and around the £12m mark in 2017, a switch that saw the then Premier League side very much come out on top.
