'I regret every moment' - Berahino opens up on failed Tottenham Hotspur transfer

Saido Berahino has reminisced on his failed transfer to Tottenham Hotspur while at West Bromwich Albion and admitted his regret on how he handled the situation.

The Lilywhites managed by Mauricio Pochettino showed interest in signing the Burundi international in the summer of 2015 following his impressive form in the 2014-15 season, where he bagged 20 goals.

West Brom, however, rejected Spurs’ offers for the then 21-year-old which left the forward frustrated, leading him to vow he will never play for the club under chairman Jeremy Peace and also embarked on a self-exile.
