Ex-Town Loanee Berahino Backed for England Call

The 21-year-old is currently the top scoring Englishman in the country and Baggies boss Alan Irvine believes he can make the step up from Under-21 to full international status.

"If he keeps on playing like that and keeps on scoring goals then he'll get all those rewards,'' Irvine said on Sunday. "I don't think Roy Hodgson will be looking and saying 'he's too young' or anything like that."

Northampton fans got a glimpse of Berahino's talent at the end of 2011 when he scored six goals in fourteen league games while on loan from West Brom despite playing in a struggling Cobblers side.
