West Brom boss plays down winter move for Tottenham, Newcastle, Stoke target Berahino

West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis has poured cold water on rumours linking striker Saido Berahino with a move away from The Hawthorns.

The 22-year-old is the subject of interest from a number of Premier League outfits, including the likes of Tottenham, Stoke City and Newcastle United.

Berahino found himself on the bench for the 10th consecutive match in West Brom's FA Cup clash with Bristol City at the weekend, but scored after coming on as 63rd minute substitute.

The player celebrated by running to the sideline and shaking the hand of Pulis, who said rumours about Berahino's future at the club were just 'speculation'.

"Yes, I owe him some money," Pulis joked after the match.

"He was just grateful for taking a couple of quid off me because he'd scored. I'm pleased for Saido.'

"We've got two or three weeks of speculation left to keep you journalists happy."
