Who is the best English forward currently?

Saido Berahino

Berahino has still not featured for the national team

Caps: 0

Rating: 6/10

He may not have scored a Premier League goal for Stoke or West Brom all season, but Berahino is nonetheless a hot prospect when it comes to young English talent. The winner of England’s U-21 Player of the Year in 2014, the 23-year-old played over 100 games for the Baggies and has a lot of top-flight experience for someone so young; a feat which gives him the edge over some others on this list.

In terms of looking to the future, Berahino is a more-than-adequate option, especially given his ability to show up in games against the bigger clubs, something sorely needed in an England side that suffer from a severe case of stage-fright in big tournaments.

However, Berahino is yet to make a competitive appearance for his country, and still has the possibility of playing for Burundi internationally, the country in which he was originally born.

Berahino has ultimately gone from a revelation to a flop since initially bursting onto the scene back in 2010 and needs far more experience with the national team and a ‘big’ club before he can be considered as one of the best English strikers in the game.
