West Bromwich Albion chairman Jeremy Peace: 'Saido Berahino not for sale'

West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace insists that Saido Berahino will not be sold amid speculation over the in-form striker's future at the club.

West Bromwich Albion chairman Jeremy Peace has assured fans that Saido Berahino will not be sold amid speculation over the striker's future.

The 21-year-old, who has scored eight goals in 14 games this season, recently suggested that he could leave the club in order to play Champions League football.

However, Peace is hopeful that the Baggies can tie the youngster down to a new contract in the next few weeks.

"I wish to assure our supporters that Saido Berahino will not be going anywhere in January or, I hope, next summer," he told the club's official website. "It is not in our minds at all to trade a footballer the club has worked so diligently to develop.

"He is contracted to play for West Bromwich Albion until at least the summer of 2017 and we are happy to sit down with him and discuss extending that commitment on terms which recognise his continuing improvement as a footballer and his growing importance to our own plans."

Berahino recently earned his first call-up to the senior England squad for their upcoming games against Slovenia and Scotland.
