Berahino is the Premier League’s leading English scorer having netted 7 times in 10 games for the Baggies.

Baggies boss Alan Irvine said it was a “fantastic honour” and “recognition” for the performances this season of the 21-year-old.

The youngster will be joined in the England squad by fellow teammate Ben Foster.

If selected for either the Slovakia or Scotland game, the striker, who has spent time on loan at Northampton, Brentford and Peterborough, will have represented England at all levels.

"I remember coming home and seeing I'd got my first-ever call up for England as a schoolboy. I was excited then and I’m excited now,” he said.

"It will be a very emotional experience for me – if selected, I will play with all my heart."
