West Brom forward Saido Berahino has been handed a first England call-up for the forthcoming matches against Slovenia and Scotland.

The Burundi-born 21-year-old had been touted for inclusion after impressing for his club with seven goals in 10 Premier League appearances this season.

He s done so well, not just for West Brom but also for the Under-21s, said manager Roy Hodgson, who hinted he has previously considered bringing Berahino into the squad.

This time the Under-21s only have a friendly match so there was no reason to pass over his credentials again.

The former Chelsea starlet, 25, left Swansea for Manchester in a deal worth £6.2 million in the summer of 2012, but has since started just three games in two years.

Hopefully I will get the chance I am looking for. At this moment in …

It was always Inter that showed great affection and great interest in me…

Yannick Bolasie s superb equaliser rescued Democratic Republic of Congo a 1-1 draw with Zambia in their Africa Cup of Nations opener.

Yannick Bolasie rescued a 1-1 draw for a wasteful Democratic Republic of Congo against Zambia in their Africa Cup of Nations Group B opener on Sunday.

Given Singuluma put 2012 AFCON winners Zambia ahead with barely a minute played in Ebebiyin, but Bolasie eventually restored parity with 24 minutes to go after DR Congo had spurned numerous chances.

Dieumerci Mbokani almost stole all three points for DR Congo with an overhead kick in the 83rd minute, but Kennedy Mweene palmed his acrobatic attempt away and Zambia held on for a draw.

The result means either of Group B s two other teams, Tunisia and Cape Verde, can take cont…

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has admitted that he regrets departing Fulham in 2011 as he prepares to travel to Craven Cottage on Saturday.

Hughes spent just a season at the London club, leading them to eighth in the Premier League before resigning, citing a lack of ambition as he reportedly lined up the Aston Villa job following Gerard Houllier s departure from Villa Park.

He did not get the Villa job, however, ultimately taking over at QPR in January 2012 and leading them to top-flight survival on the last day of the season.

The following season began disastrously at Loftus Road, however, and Hughes was sacked after a winless run of 12 games from the start of the term.

His return to management has been solid, with Stoke having won two and drawn one of their op…
