Many wondered if this would be the next step with Tottenham Hotspur firming up their interest in Saido Berahino.
West Bromwich Albion have today confirmed that the youngster had put in a transfer request, but that has been denied also.
A statement on wba.co.uk from late this afternoon was titled ‘Club’s position remains unchanged.’
‘WEST Bromwich Albion have received a written transfer request from Saido Berahino. 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.’
As is usual the statement ends by stating the club will make no further comment.
What this does to the saga, especially with his omission from the squad against Chelsea this weekend, remains to be seen and in the current game how far the club can hold to this position will be interesting to watch as clearly the player wants to go, so is it a case of just waiting for Spurs to meet our valuation of the England Under 21 international and no doubt future England regular.
It’s also being reported by the likes of the Daily Mail that Spurs have now come back in with an improved £21million offer or will do shortly and we are said to be on the verge of capturing Jonny Evans and David Marshall from Manchester United and Cardiff City respectively.
