Garry Monk wary of threat posed by Saido Berahino

Swansea City manager Garry Monk admits that his side must be prepared for a determined Saido Berahino against West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday.

Swansea City manager Garry Monk has claimed that stopping Saido Berahino will be one of his side's biggest tests when they meet West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday.

Berahino has been in the spotlight recently after admitting that he was interested in leaving the Baggies in the summer, before being left out of the starting lineup in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Burnley.

However, Monk believes that the forward's eagerness to silence his critics makes him a dangerous opponent for Swansea.

"They will be at home in front of their crowd and once he is out on the pitch Berahino will want to score goals," the Swansea boss told reporters.

"He is a big danger, a very good player who has scored a lot of goals and attracted a lot of interest. I expect him to play and we will have to identify and nullify him as well as possible."

Berahino has scored 14 goals in all competitions for West Brom this season.
