West Brom have rejected an offer from Tottenham for England Under-21 striker Saido Berahino, reportedly worth £15m.

Albion chairman Jeremy Peace has said he received an approach from Spurs chairman Daniel Levy for the 22-year-old, who scored 20 goals last season.
"We have no interest in selling Saido which is what I have told Daniel Levy," said Peace.

"I know we are living in an age where no club can say 'never' about the possibility of selling a player."

He added: "However, the prospect of selling Saido is simply not on our agenda.
"We are going forward with Saido very much in our plans and still striving to add players to improve the balance of our squad."

Daniel Levy is one strange fella, expect them desperately trawling the world for players on deadline day. Again.

Surprised they have left it this late.

Will they ever be as desperate as we were and sign Balo?

Levy is the reason they've never kicked on, all this bluster being a hard negotiator when have Spurs ever come out on the good side of a deal under his watch?

He is really good at the financial side of football, selling players at profit. I dont think he is that good at identifying managers and giving them space to develop.

[RichC]

He's good at one side of the financials, selling players. He's poor at the other side of it which is generally more important to the club long term

German media reporting they are in for Son from Leverkusen for €30m

SportBild reporting that Leverkusen-player Son goes to Tottenham.
Good player

I guess that means Lamela is off to Inter which is also being reported.

Seen him a few times in the CL but he has a pretty big reputation. Seems a better way to spend £20m+ than on Berahino.

[Alex]

Those 2 Milan clubs have spent big this summer. Wonder where the money is suddenly coming from?

[Chris]

Transfer fees are mad! Like Shaggy says he seems to have a pretty big rep, whenever I've seen him though he just looks decent, no wow factor there, sort of like a Mane, Chadli, Mirallas type, will get them 7-10 goals a season and not much else.
