West Brom reject Saido Berahino transfer request as Tottenham circle star forward
Striker has made a formal transfer request as Spurs step-up their interest
West Bromwich Albion have received a written transfer request from Saido Berahino
West Bromwich Albion have rejected a transfer request from striker Saido Berahino, a target for Tottenham Hotspur, according to a statement on the club website.
The Baggies rejected an offer from Tottenham last week and manager Tony Pulis dropped the 22-year-old for their 3-2 home defeat against Chelsea on Sunday, saying the forward was not in the right frame of mind to play.
The Baggies, who signed strikers Rickie Lambert and Salomon Rondon during the close season, currently sit bottom of the league table with just one point from their three games so far.
The request has been rejected and the club’s position remains unchanged
“The request has been rejected and the club’s position remains unchanged from that outlined in the statement from Chairman Jeremy Peace of August 18,” the statement added.
