West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace hopes to mend his differences with Saido Berahino after a move to Tottenham fell through yesterday.

The 22-year-old effectively went on strike - via Twitter - after Peace refused to sell him to Spurs.

Later in a statement, Peace said: “We have a key player who has been very unsettled by antics which were designed to get him out of our club cheaply.

“Those tactics have continued despite my making our position clear in my first conversation with Daniel Levy on this subject in mid-August.

“I said selling Saido so late in the window was not on our agenda.

“Tottenham's offers failed substantially to reflect Saido's true value while the timing made no allowance for our own recruitment of a suitable replacement for a proven Premier League goalscorer.

“Saido has been unsettled to the point where our Head Coach has not felt able to select him for our last three games.

“We are now left with the task of repairing the damage created by this unfortunate episode."
