Roy Hodgson must convince Saido Berahino that his international future is with England after the forward received an official approach from Burundi . Berahino , who has scored 16 times for West Brom in the Barclays Premier League this season , was called into the England squad for the first time in November . The striker was born in Burundi and a delegation of officials from the tiny country in south-east Africa have been courting him this week . Saido Berahino ( left , in action for West Brom against Aston Villa ) has impressed England boss Roy Hodgson . Berahino was called in to the senior England squad last November but is also wanted by his native Burundi . Burundi , 126th in the FIFA rankings , play Mauritius in a friendly on March 25 and want to name the West Brom forward in their squad . England ’ s head coach names his squad on Thursday for the Euro 2016 clash with Lithuania on March 27 at Wembley and the friendly in Turin against Italy four days later . Berahino has yet to represent the England team and he would still be permitted to switch nationalities under FIFA rules . Hodgson ’ s striking options have been swelled by the return from injury of Daniel Sturridge , along with regular forwards Danny Welbeck and England captain Wayne Rooney . Hodgson has already made it clear that he intends to select Tottenham forward Harry Kane when he names his squad at the national stadium next week . Berahino celebrates scoring for England 's U21s but can switch allegiances having not played for the seniors . Berahino trains with the senior England squad in November ( left ) and in action for the U21s . Kane , who is the Spurs squad travelling to Manchester United on Sunday , has scored 16 times in the Barclays Premier League and was named player of the month for the second time on Friday . His emergence means Hodgson has a dilemma over who to select as his fifth striker . Berahino , an England Under-21 international , was named in the full squad for the first time in November for the clashes with Slovenia in a Euro 2016 qualifier and the friendly with Scotland at Celtic Park . He was an unused substitute in both games , but Hodgson predicted a bright future for the forward after he spent a week training with the national team .
Saido Berahino 's native Burundi send delegation of officials to court him . Roy Hodgson also has Daniel Sturridge , Danny Welbeck , Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane to pick and must decide whether to also call up Berahino . Berahino is yet to play for senior side so can still switch allegiances .
