Harry Redknapp claims that a deal between West Bromwich Albion and Tottenham may have already been agreed for the signing of Saido Berahino.

The 22-year-old striker has been heavily linked with a move to White Hart Lane recently with some reports indicating he had handed in a transfer request with Albion.

The Baggies quickly rejected the appeal but according to former Spurs boss Redknapp, that does not necessarily mean Berahino will not be joining the North London club before the close of the summer transfer window.

In relation to the Berahino deal, Redknapp said on talkSPORT: "The players know their deal because they've got agents – everything is done behind the scenes with the player, he's probably even got a good idea of where he's going to live.

"All it is now is a game of bluff between the two chairmen trying to get the best deal for their club – the aces are held by the clubs that have the players because they are really wanted."
