Tottenham Hotspur target Saido Berahino has hit out at West Bromwich Albion chairman Jeremy Peace, claiming he will not play for the club again whilst he is in charge.
Spurs have made two bids for the forward today, their third and fourth offers, but have not yet agreed a transfer with Albion.
Berahino said: “Sad how I can’t say exactly how the club has treated me but I can officially say I will never play Jeremy Peace [West Brom chairman].”

Though Spurs have reportedly offered £23 million for the forward, it is believed a much smaller sum has been offered up-front for the 22-year-old, who scored 20 goals for Albion last season in all competitions.
The Baggies are standing firm, though, and have not yet accepted an offer from Spurs with less than 30 minutes remaining until the transfer window shuts at 6pm.
