Pochettino quiet on Berahino interest

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has refused to be drawn on his club's recent approach for West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino.

The Baggies confirmed on Tuesday that they had rejected an offer - believed to be worth around £18m - from Spurs for their England Under-21 international.

Recent speculation had suggested that the North Londoners would lodge an improved bid in the near future, but Pochettino opted not to confirm that claim during this afternoon's press conference.

"I am not going to speak about our private business. It is obvious we need to add some more [players] in our offensive positions," he said.

"We identify our targets and the chairman is working very hard to bring new players in this position, but I am happy with my squad."

It has been reported that West Brom would accept £25m for the 22-year-old.
