Chelsea set to bid for England Under 21 star

Chelsea have reportedly added West Brom striker Saido Berahino to their shortlist of potential January signings.

Radamel Falcao is set to leave the Premier League champions in January and 22-year-old Berahino is said to on the list of potential replacements, according to John Percy of The Telegraph.

The England Under 21 international wanted to join Tottenham in the summer, but Albion refused to sell him, although they may face losing him for a smaller transfer fee with him having just 18 months left on his contract.

According to Percy, Chelsea think a bid of around £20million, approximately £5million less than Spurs offered in the summer, could be enough to get the Baggies to sell.

Chelsea are in need of a striker as Falcao has been a huge disappointment since arriving from Monaco on loan.

There was talk of Didier Drogba joining on a short-term loan deal during the MLS offseason, but that rumour was quashed by the player.
