West Bromwich Albion’s Saido Berahino is on the “naughty chair” according to manager Tony Pulis, after the striker said he wanted to move to a bigger club.
.
Berahino, who has scored nine league goals this season, gave an interview in which he claimed he would seek a move at the end of the season, once he had helped to secure West Brom’s survival.
.
“He’s been in the naughty chair – but he’s okay, it’s not too far from my desk,” Pulis told reporters on Friday.
.
“Again, I do feel he’s gone and done an interview for something else, not for what he ended up talking about…
.
“I’ve spoken to him and I’ve spoken to his people. The most important thing Saido has got to do is don’t talk about what he wants to do – but actually go out there and do it. That’s what all the good players do. They actually go out and perform on the pitch.”
.
Albion, who visit relegation rivals Burnley on Sunday, put contract talks on hold with the 21-year-old striker late last year, according to media reports.
