Saido Berahino has suggested West Brom may have frozen him out because he was not signing a new contract with them -- and has hit back at claims of him being "fat.''
Berahino left Albion last week to join Stoke for a fee of £12 million that could rise to £15m, bringing to an end a troubled period for the 23-year-old forward.
He has not played a first-team game since September, with Baggies boss Tony Pulis repeatedly saying he was not fit enough for selection having been ruled overweight earlier this term.
Meanwhile, with the deal Berahino was on due to run out at the end of the season and the club facing the prospect of losing him for a tribunal fee at the most in the summer, West Brom had been trying to persuade him to sign a new contract.
