Premier League football star Saido Berahino is to be interviewed by police after being arrested for drink-driving.

The West Brom and England striker was stopped for travelling at "high speed" on the M6 motorway in the early hours of the morning.

And when officers spoke to Berahino, he was then arrested on suspicion of drink-driving.

The 21-year-old was interviewed and bailed and must go back to a police station to speak again with officers next month following his arrest near Lymm last month.

A spokeswoman for Cheshire Police said: "At around 3.39am on the morning of Wednesday, October 22, a patrol stopped a car travelling at high speed southbound on the M6 near J20.

"A 21-year old man was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving, interviewed and was subsequently bailed and is due to appear at a Cheshire custody suite early in December."

Berahino escaped his war-torn African homeland of Burundi at the age of 10 to start a new life with his refugee mother in Birmingham and was called up to the England squad by Roy Hodgson earlier this month, but did not play.

The rising premier league star, said to earn around £14,000 a week, has also been touted as a £20 million target for Liverpool and Spurs.
