Stephane Sessegnon took a £400 taxi back to the Midlands from Newcastle after a falling out with Tony Pulis, and his future at West Brom is now in serious doubt.

Sportsmail understands Sessegnon was furious when Pulis told him he had been left out of the squad for last Saturday’s 1-1 draw at St James’ Park.

The 30-year-old stormed out of the stadium and took a taxi more than 200 miles home after he learned of his omission.

Sources have indicated that Sessegnon — who signed for the club for £6million in 2013 and has one year left on his deal — will be sold as Pulis stamps his mark on the squad this summer.

The Benin international has not started a game since the 4-1 defeat at home by QPR on April 4, when he was hooked at half-time. He was an unused substitute in the three matches before the trip to Newcastle and is unlikely to feature in their two remaining fixtures against Chelsea and Arsenal.

Pulis’s relationship with Sessegnon has been somewhat strained since he took charge in January.

The Baggies boss spoke to the forward about diving after he was booked for simulation during the 1-0 win over Southampton in February.

And the 57-year-old eventually lost patience with the former Sunderland man during the heavy defeat against QPR at the Hawthorns when he was hauled off at the break with the side trailing 3-0.

Pulis, however, had previously praised Sessegnon following his return to action after a family bereavement.

The playmaker starred in the 1-0 win over Stoke on March 14, and Pulis said: ‘It has been terrible what has happened to him. It has been absolutely dreadful what has happened.

‘I think, looking at him during training the last couple of weeks, he wasn’t there and last week he looked better.
