West Bromwich Albion have confirmed they have rejected an offer from Tottenham Hotspur for striker Saido Berahino.

The England youth international has been on Spurs' radar all summer but the Baggies have now released a statement to confirm they have turned down a bid for the young striker.

Chairman Jeremy Peace said: “We have no interest in selling Saido which is what I have told Daniel Levy.

“I know we are living in an age where no club can say ‘never’ about the possibility of selling a player.

“However, the prospect of selling Saido is simply not on our agenda. 

“We are going forward with Saido very much in our plans and still striving to add players to improve the balance of our squad.”

Reports linking Berahino with a move to White Hart Lane have intensified since a club-record £12 million fee was spent to secure the services of Zenit St Petersburg striker Salomon Rondon.

Nevertheless, the Albion hierarchy have finally drawn a line over the speculation, insisting the striker remains very much part of their plans.

Berahino scored 14 Premier League goals for the Baggies last term.
