Saido Berahino to Stoke: Peter Crouch offered to West Brom as part of £16m move for striker

But he is willing to offer out-of-favour Crouch, 35, a reunion with his former boss Tony Pulis in a player-plus-cash deal.

And Sparky is still not giving up hope of bringing in former Arsenal and Manchester United superstar Robin van Persie.

The Dutchman, 32, has endured a miserable time in Turkey at Fenerbahce and Stoke chiefs hope to strike a loan deal.
