West Brom legend warns Saido on conduct

West Brom legend Ally Robertson has warned Saido Berahino not to rock the boat – after the club's top scorer admitted he hopes to move "on to bigger things."

Robertson believes the 21-year-old striker risks incurring the wrath of boss Tony Pulis.

It comes after Berahino gave an interview in which he also claimed fans will give him their blessing to depart, if he scores the goals to keep the Baggies in the Premier League.

The Express & Star understands Berahino did not have permission from the club to give the interview, the contents of which was widely publicised yesterday.

And Robertson said: "I think Mr Pulis would want everyone to be giving 100 per cent and not thinking about themselves.

"The position we are in needs that – the last thing we need is someone trying to rock the boat and not doing things for the team and for Albion but for themselves.

"Albion pay his wages at this moment in time and that needs to be his priority, not thinking about where he might be going next."

Berahino has scored 14 goals this season and was linked with moves to Liverpool and Tottenham during the January transfer window, though Albion never received an enquiry.

But in yesterday's interview, Berahino said: "I've got to stay focused on what I'm doing right now, which is scoring the goals and keeping West Brom in the Premier League.

"If I can keep them in the Premier League and score as many goals as I can, I'm pretty sure the fans wouldn't mind me pushing on and going on to bigger things.

"I'm just flattered to be linked to all these sort of teams, but I stay focused."
