West Brom confirm that Saido Berahino will not be sold during the summer transfer window.

West Bromwich Albion chairman Jeremy Peace has confirmed that Saido Berahino will not be sold during the summer transfer window.

The Baggies recently rejected a transfer request from the 22-year-old striker.

Berahino, who scored 20 goals last season, has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.

"I have informed Saido that he will not be transferred during this summer window and that he is staying at the club," Peace said in a statement.

"As I have made clear from the moment Tottenham lodged their first bid for Saido on August 18, selling our top goalscorer was never on our agenda this summer.

"Our plans have always been based on Saido being part of our squad for the 2015-16 season, but there are two other good reasons why he will not be sold.

"Firstly, had we ever entertained the notion of selling him we have not received an offer anywhere near attractive enough from Tottenham Hotspur.

"Not only have the offers been too low as a valuation of the player, but they have been based on stage-payments and add-ons over a long period which do nothing to reflect Saido's ability and potential.

"I have the greatest respect for Daniel Levy but he must surely appreciate we would have needed to replace Saido had he left and no consideration of that position has been reflected by Tottenham's strategy."

West Brom are back in Premier League action on Saturday when they travel to Stoke City.
