Pulis: 'Berahino can leave for top-four club'

West Bromwich Albion head coach Tony Pulis has indicated that striker Saido Berahino could depart The Hawthorns during the summer.

Manchester City are one of a number of clubs who have been linked with a move for the 21-year-old, and Pulis has revealed that while he is keen to keep the attacker, he would not stand in his way providing that a top-four club meet his valuation.

The 57-year-old is quoted by the Express & Star as saying: "West Bromwich Albion will not stop him as long as the deal is right for the football club. We will not stop him joining a top-four club.

"We hope and pray that he stays with us because he's got a lot more to come and we don't think he is at the end of his development.

"However, if a top-four club comes in and the clubs agree a fee then fine, it's all done, people can shake hands and say what a great job he has done for the football club."

The England Under-21 international has scored 20 goals in 44 appearances in all competitions this season.
