Darren Moore speaks out on Saido Berahino at Sheffield Wednesday

Saido Berahino has found his feet again at Sheffield Wednesday and after a campaign filled with goals and superb showings, he has now been rewarded with a return for his country too – and Darren Moore has told The Star he is ‘continuing to make progress’ with the club.

The Owls have been battling for a promotion back to the Championship for most of the campaign and they remain in with a chance now at the business end of the season, with the club currently sat in sixth in the League One table.

There have been plenty of players that have shone and stood out at Hillsborough this year – Barry Bannan is one name that keeps cropping up – and one such player is Saido Berahino, who has been revitalised with Wednesday. The 28-year-old was in Belgium last season and was struggling to even feature, never mind start games there.

He’s since found his way back to England and to the Owls and it is in the third tier where he has begun to thrive again. He has only made nine League One starts so far this campaign but has 23 appearances in total and has bagged six goals and two assists along the way – with a superb average of 0.71 goals or assists per 90 to boot.

This kind of form – and prowess in front of goal – has led to attention from elsewhere now too and with the forward beginning to find his feet again, he has now been called back up to his national team of Burundi. It shows how far Berahino has come – and Darren Moore has been equally impressed and pleased for the striker, telling The Star that he is ‘really pleased’ with the player.

Moore said: “When he arrived we realised that he’d probably lost a bit of the power and speed and tempo that he needed for his game. So we’ve been doing some incredible work with him, and credit to him
