West Bromwich Albion have denied "silly" reports that the club are considering an offer for striker Saido Berahino.
Tottenham have been linked with a move for the England Under-21 forward, with a £10 million (€14m) bid said to be in the works.
It has also been claimed that Spurs could offer a player, possibly Andros Townsend, in part-exchange for Berahino, but the Baggies moved to clear up any doubt on their Twitter page.

Berahino scored 14 goals in 38 Premier League outings last season but former Baggies boss Alan Irvine, who was sacked in December and replaced by Tony Pulis,believes the 21-year-old is not ready for a move to White Hart Lane.
"Is he ready to play a huge part at a club like Tottenham who want to be challenging for the top four? Probably not yet," Irvine told BBC Radio 5 Live on Tuesday.
"I always said to Saido that, as long as he kept focus and did the right thing, then he would continue to develop."
In February, Berahino angered fans - and Pulis - when he openly admitted his desire to move on to a "bigger" club.
He said at the time: “If I can keep West Brom 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.”
