West Brom striker Saido Berahino has finally admitted he regrets his strike threat last September and apologised for his actions.

He issued the warning to chairman Jeremy Peace on Twitter after Albion rejected two deadline-day bids from Tottenham.

"It is something I look back and I really regret. I should never have said that. I am human like you know," he said.

"I make mistakes and I hold my hands up and I say it was a mistake from me and I just apologise to all the fans out there that have always supported me and also the club that has always believed in me.

"I have missed a lot of football and I am just trying to get myself back into match fitness and sharper again like I was last season so my focus is mainly on getting back to what I was last season and finishing really on a high."

He told the club's official YouTube channel: "They are bound to go in sooner rather than later so it is all about getting yourself into good positions and not trying to think too much about scoring, and are you going to miss or not. I am patient with it. I know if I get myself in a good position the goals will come.

"So I just stay patient and work hard for the team and try and push on."
