West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino has shown a "great attitude" at the club despite persistent rumours about his future, says manager Tony Pulis.

West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis has hailed young striker Saido Berahino for his "great attitude" as speculation continues about his future.

The 21-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from the Baggies in this window, with Tottenham Hotspur reportedly keen.

However, Pulis insists that Berahino, who scored during Albion's pre-season win away at Walsall, has continued to be professional.

He told Sky Sports News: "Saido is okay, there is always going to be speculation during the window. He is a very, very good player and he is English and those players, as you have seen with [Raheem] Sterling and people like that, they are wanted players.

"The great thing about it is that I think we have got him in a position where he knows what to do and how to cope with things.

"He's handled himself very well during the last couple of weeks and tonight in the game. He has shown great attitude and I think it was appreciated by all the West Bromwich Albion supporters."

Berahino scored 20 goals last season.
