West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino feels he's been treated unfairly by the media.

Berahino recently upset teammates when stating he saw his future beyond the Baggies.

"The media wants me to be a bad boy, but those who know me know I'm not that," Berahino told Sport magazine.

"People read it so much it becomes fact. But if every footballer sat down and read everything that had been said about them, they'd lose their minds.

"I chose this career and you just have to get on with it, but certain people should be softer on me. I try to be a good guy. I've never met anyone I've hated or hold any grudges against. I'm as easygoing as any other 21-year-old."
