West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis has told Saido Berahino to grow up and focus on football.

The 22-year-old has threatened to strike at Albion after failing to gain a deadline day move to Tottenham and indicating that he never wanted to play under Baggies chairman Jeremy Peace again.

Berahino was given a few extra days off over the weekend to calm down before being integrated back into the Albion squad this week but prior to that occurring, Pulis wants the England U21 striker to ensure his focus and motivation are solely on football and the West Bromwich Albion Football Club.

"Saido's problem has been how he he's gone about it. I spoke to Saido and told him not to get involved in anything else but football but again, unfortunately, he didn't listen. By handing in a transfer request, he only antagonised the whole situation," the West Brom boss told the Daily Mail.

"Respect has to be earned and Saido has to learn that lesson. West Brom have nurtured Saido's career for over a decade, they deserve the utmost respect and at times unwillingly he has shown them little. He has to grow up and wise up to the fact that people at West Brom have supported him right from the beginning of his career.

"It will be difficult to integrate Saido into this group. His attitude will be questioned. The supporters will also be looking for a player who wears their badge with commitment and honesty, they will want to see Saido showing the respect they deserve."

Pulls added: "His gripe is with Jeremy - as far as I'm concerned, he will play for West Brom again.

"I don't think he will talk to Jeremy. The problem is that he thinks he is being used.

"If you look at the club, Jeremy has sold players when it has suited him. Look at Shane Long, he sold him [to Hull last January] at a time when the club was left without a recognised forward. I think Saido thinks [Peace] is just looking at finances all the time."
