Stoke striker Saido Berahino reveals 'I was very lost' during absence from West Brom's first-team as he apologises to Hawthorns faithful

Saido Berahino has revealed he felt ‘very lost’ during his absence from the first-team picture at West Bromwich Albion, but is targeting a return to Premier League football as soon as Wednesday’s visit of Everton.

The new Stoke striker admitted he made mistakes during his difficult last 18 months at the Hawthorns but all he has ever wanted to do is play football.

Berahino said nobody at West Brom ever explained why he was not sold to Tottenham Hotspur on transfer deadline day in summer 2015, giving cause for the infamous tweet aimed at chairman Jeremy Peace.
