West Brom reject second Saido Berahino offer from Tottenham

West Bromwich Albion have announced that they have rejected a second bid from Tottenham for Saido Berahino.

The Baggies said last week they had turned down a first offer for Berahino, 22, but sources told ESPN FC on Monday that Spurs were readying another bid for the player, believed to be a fee of £21 million.

West Brom confirmed on Tuesday that a second bid had indeed been lodged, but that they have no intention of selling their striker, who was left out of the squad for Sunday's 3-2 defeat to Chelsea.

"West Bromwich Albion can today confirm the club have rejected a second offer from Tottenham Hotspur for Saido Berahino," a West Brom statement read.

Baggies chairman Jeremy Peace said last week that "the prospect of selling Saido is simply not on our agenda," and he reiterated that stance on Tuesday.

"Our position remains unchanged," Peace added in the statement. "The sale of this player is not on our agenda."

Tottenham have brought in Clinton Njie from Lyon but remain keen to reinforce their attack after allowing Roberto Soldado to join Villarreal and with Emmanuel Adebayor reportedly set for an exit.
