Zulte Waregem forward Saido Berahino has admitted to making “the biggest mistake” by tweeting he would never play for West Bromwich Albion and has confessed he still has “a soft spot” for the Hawthorns side.
Following the collapse of a proposed transfer to Tottenham Hotspur in 2015, Berahino tweeted: “Sad how I can’t say exactly how the club has treated me but I can officially say I will never play [for] Jeremy Peace.”
The tweet sparked a media storm against Berahino who later on moved to Stoke City and the media onslaught was made worse by a drunk-driving incident which led to a subsequent transfer to Belgium last August.
