West Brom manager Tony Pulis says he is hopeful the club can keep Saido Berahino beyond the January transfer window.
The England U21 international has been linked with a move away from The Hawthorns this month and Sky sources understand he is available for £20m or more.
Ahead of West Brom’s Premier League clash with Hull on Saturday, Pulis admitted the club would consider selling the 21-year-old but insists they have had no offers for Berahino so far.
“I don’t want to sell him now at all because he has been absolutely first class. The club want to keep him and we've had no offers for Saido,” Pulis said.
“He is scoring goals and has been a pleasure to work with. He has been the last off the training ground every morning, doing extra with Dave Kemp and Paul Jewell.
“Everyone is available in every shape and form and there's no difference about that. But the important thing is we have to make sure he has a clear mind when he goes on the football pitch.”
Berahino has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs including Tottenham and Liverpool, but Sky sources understand neither club are interested in the poacher.
Berahino scored four times in West Brom’s 7-0 thrashing of Gateshead in the FA Cup third round last weekend and is expected to start against the Tigers on Saturday.
