West Bromwich Albion 'turn down two bids for Saido Berahino'

West Bromwich Albion have reportedly rejected £20m offers from Stoke City and Crystal Palace for striker Saido Berahino.

Berahino has been widely tipped to leave The Hawthorns this summer having been kept at the club against his will when Tottenham Hotspur came knocking following a breakthrough 2014-15 campaign.

Stoke were thought to be leading the race for his signature after manager Mark Hughes revealed that he was "hopeful" of completing a deal, with the Potters understood to have lodged a bid of £17m up front with £3m in add-ons.

Reports earlier today claimed that Palace had also made an offer for the 22-year-old, bettering West Brom's bid by offering £20m up front in addition to an extra £3m in add-ons.

However, BBC Sport reports that the Baggies have rejected both bids despite Berahino having already turned down a new four-year contract at the Midlands outfit.

Berahino scored 20 goals during his breakthrough season but managed just four during the 2015-16 campaign, spending long spells on the bench.
