West Brom boss Irvine prepared to see Berahino sold

West Bromwich Albion boss Alan Irvine admits they're prepared to sell Saido Berahino - for the right price.

Irvine believes if he continues to find the net on a regular basis he will become an international regular - but also leave the Baggies.

He said: "If Saido gets to the stage where there's a load of big clubs chasing after him then he'll have done a brilliant job for us in the meantime.

"Then it becomes a matter of whether the club want to do business with anyone or not. There's no set rule as far as that's concerned.

"As we've shown already this summer, we've kept hold of some players who other clubs were chasing - but we let others go.

"I certainly wouldn't want Saido not to play well because I didn't want him going anywhere else.

"It's in everyone's best interests that he continues to play as well as he's been playing - and continues to develop.

"And if in the end he goes somewhere else - and it's a move that is seen as taking his career to the next level - then that'd be fantastic and he'd go with our blessing."
