If we're looking for an alternative to Kane I can see why Poch likes Berahino. He has pace, awareness and is a good finisher. However, there are many things Kane does which Berahino won't. We use Kane a lot to hold the ball up and relieve pressure for starters. I can't see Berahino doing that and I also can't see him running himself into the ground to press the opposition back line. I would have thought we would be looking for a player who brings more Kane-like qualities to the table, especially if we were to lose Kane for any length of time.
Berahino can't play as a lone forward. He's a decent WF, but he's useless with his back to goal and doing most of the things a CF does.
Dembele is much more Kane-like. Bigger, stronger , runs off the ball and is much better at linking-up play.
