Tony Pulis plays down talk of a rift with Nacer Chadli, insisting that he hopes to see the winger remain at West Bromwich Albion for another couple of years.

Tony Pulis has insisted that West Bromwich Albion are not looking to cash in on winger Nacer Chadli, despite rumours of a falling out between the pair.

Chadli, who only joined from Tottenham Hotspur 12 months ago, was recently left out of the Baggies' squad for their pre-season trip to Austria.

Reports at the time suggested that the 27-year-old's omission came as a result of a confrontation with Pulis, having made it known that he is not a fan of the Welshman's gruelling summer training regime.

Swansea City have since been linked with a move for Chadli, but Pulis is adamant that one of his star attacking players is going nowhere this summer.

"Chadli is a West Brom player, he's been a West Brom player for a year," he told reporters. "Let's hope he's a West Brom player for a couple of years.

"I think he signed a three or four-year contract so we have no reason to get rid of Chadli. We don't need the money and he's a good player and we want to keep our good players."

Chadli played a direct part in 10 goals in 31 Premier League appearances last season upon joining from Spurs in a £10m deal.
