The former Premier League striker is open to a surprise transfer to Wrexham
Former Premier League striker Saido Berahino has admitted he could be open to joining League One side Wrexham this summer.
Following their National League triumph last season, the Wales-based side have been promoted twice in a row.
After his contract at Limassol expired this summer, Berahino said in a Q&A session on X, formerly Twitter, that he would be open to a move to the Welsh club.
His contract with the Cypriot club expires at the end of the season, after he scored just four goals in 44 games since joining in 2022.
With 11 goals in his first season, he impressed at West Brom and went on to score in the Baggies’ 2-1 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford in 2013.
In the Premier League, Berahino scored 23 goals for Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion.
During a Q&A on XBerahino was asked if he would consider joining Wrexham when his contract in Cyprus expires.
He replied, “Why not.”

Having moved up to West Brom, Berahino was expected to shine in the Premier League.
But as he lost his form at the Baggies and handed in a transfer request, his career quickly fell apart.
Since then, he has played for Sheffield Wednesday, Limassol, Zulte Waregem and Charleroi in Belgium.
Wrexham is not short of options
Ollie Palmer and Paul Mullin are already at Wrexham, but if Berahino is ready to join, they could be persuaded to look at him.
James McClean, Berahino’s former West Brom and Stoke teammate, has received an offer from the Hollywood-owned club for a new contract.
There have been calls in the media recently that some people are backing Jamie Vardy to move to Wales.
After back-to-back promotions, Wrexham are expected to have an eventful summer.
