This is a big club and I feel happy to be here and very happy to be back in the Premier League.

Free agent: Former Arsenal forward Andrey Arshavin is now a free agent and reports in Russian Federation say he’s on the look out for a new club after being released by Kuban this morning.

This time last term Berahino had registered 14 goals, this season he is yet to reach double figures for starting appearances.

The Magpies are willing to smash their club-record transfer fee in order to sign Berahino before the 11pm deadline, but the Baggies insist they will not sell.

Tottenham are unwilling to match the offers of Newcastle and Stoke, and Peace has no interest in discussing a transfer unless he received a bid of at least £25million.

At the time he implied he would not play for Baggies chairman Jeremy Peace again after not getting his move.

Newcastle have made an offer of £21m for West Brom forward Saido Berahino but Baggies assistant head coach David Kemp has just faced the media and does not believe the player will be leaving.

Peterborough United scored two late equalisers to earn an FA Cup fourth-round replay at London Road after dramatically drawing 2-2 at West Brom on Saturday.

Berahino has also been linked with Newcastle United in recent days, with a reported £21 million bid from the Tyneside club turned down.

“We know he can do it and you can’t take away the fact that he has a wonderful talent”, he added of a player who netted 20 goals last season.

“Firstly you’ve got to give Peterborough a load of credit”, Pulis said.

“The chairman will make the decisions on financial matters and that’s what it boils down to”. He is a footballer first and foremost and I think sometimes people forget that he needs to play and he hasn’t played.

“He’s got a bit of a knock so we’ll have to check that but he’s in the squad for tomorrow’s game”.

GETTY    
     NO CHANCE Berahino is set to stay at West Brom
