West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis has bemoaned the nature of the January transfer window - labelling it a ‘circus’ - as he clings on to Saido Berahino.

The 22-year-old has made just 15 appearances this season, scoring three goals, and has attracted the interest of Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Newcastle United.

But Pulis is adamant that West Brom will only sell Berahino on their own terms despite the former England under-21s forward rumoured to prefer a move away from the Hawthorns.

“The present situation is the club has not received any offers at all so everything is speculation and you can't stop people talking,” former Stoke manager Pulis said.

“I'm more disappointed for Saido. I told him at the beginning of the window the circus starts again.

“If something happens, something happens and he understands that from the last window. Unless he's sold now, tomorrow or the next two days it could go to the deadline - it's a good story.”

The Baggies face bottom club Aston Villa this weekend and are in the relative comfort of 13th in the Premier League table.
