Saido Berahino Included in West Brom's Premier League Squad

Saido Berahino has been included in West Bromwich Albion's final 25-man squad for the new Premier League season, despite vowing never to play for the club again.

Sky Sports News HQ confirmed the news on Thursday via their official Twitter feed.

The youngster was prevented from joining Tottenham Hotspur before the transfer deadline on Tuesday, and he subsequently announced he was going on strike:

Sad how i cant say exactly how the club has treated me but i can officially say i will never play Jeremy Peace.

The striker will now stay at the Hawthorns until at least January, and football writer Henry Winter believes the 22-year-old will need to make amends following the rash statement:

Berahino has to start building bridges with Pulis & #wba fans, 1st by deleting that tweet.
