The Ivory Coast international wants first team football, but the 28-year-old defender is currently out of favour at The Hawthorns and is yet to make a first-team appearance this season in the league.
Roberto Di Matteo: "That is just paper talk.
"He's been on the bench for the last two games and I have no reservations, if we need him, to put him in the squad."
Meite is obviously trying to 'talk his way' out of the Hawthorns.
