The striker was convicted earlier this month despite claiming to have driven in order to escape a gang of armed robbers.But according to the Daily Mail, Stoke have taken action by cancelling Berahino’s contract, which is due to run until the summer of 2022.The report claims the Burundi international is challenging the Championship club’s decision. Stoke have not commented on the matter so far.Bernahino signed for the Potters from West Brom in January 2017 but has struggled to make an impact for his club. It took him a year to score his first goal and he had already been disciplined for poor time-keeping by manager at the time Paul Lambert.However, Berahino improved under Gary Rowett but it emerged that his old issues with discipline and time-keeping had been merely tolerated by the new regime.He has previous convictions for drink-driving in 2015 and being drunk in charge of a vehicle in 2012.It’s not clear what’s next for Saido BerahinoGetty Images - Getty2
