Stoke striker Saido Berahino hopes Mark Hughes will help get his stalling career back on track

Mark Hughes' stellar career as a striker has given forward Saido Berahino a reason to be optimistic the Stoke City manager will help to bring the best out of him.

Berahino, who joined Stoke from West Bromwich Albion in January, has not scored a Premier League goal for nearly a year after seeing his career stall at the Hawthorns due to a series of off-field incidents.

By contrast, Hughes won a host of trophies, including two league titles and four FA Cups, during his glittering 22-year playing career.

'He has already given me some really good tips, which helps with those coming from somebody who enjoyed a tremendous career in world football as a striker himself,' Berahino told the club's website.
