West Bromwich Albion

Tony Pulis excited by Rickie Lambert, Saido Berahino partnership

By , Reporter
West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis hopes that Saido Berahino and Rickie Lambert create a good partnership up front this season.

West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis has said that he expects Rickie Lambert to ease the goalscoring pressure on Saido Berahino this season.

The Baggies signed the 33-year-old from Liverpool a few weeks ago, and Pulis hopes that he and Berahino develop a good partnership in attack.

Pulis said at a press conference: "Last year we relied a lot on Saido's goals. Rickie has a really good goalscoring record and we are hoping he will add to what Saido did last year.

"He will give us another threat. Rickie is a senior player and good character as well. I think Saido will learn a lot off him."

Lambert is expected to make his debut against Manchester City later tonight.
