Stoke City forward Saido Berahino has insisted that he is enjoying his new deeper 'number 10' role for the Potters after starting a third consecutive game in the Championship over the weekend as the club finally secured their first win since relegation in May.
For Berahino, who last scored a senior goal two and a half years ago in February 2016 while in action for West Brom and has never scored for Stoke, the heavy burden of his extraordinary drought is lessened by playing in a more creative role behind a central striker.
The 25-year-old is more confident as a result, playing more minutes with each passing week, and while he believes he will score soon enough, finally getting on the scoresheet for the first time in forever isn't something that is actually worrying him.
