According to a report from Football Insider, West Ham are reportedly ready to hijack West Brom’s move for Matheus Pereira in the summer, and some Hammers fans took to Twitter in reaction to the news.
The 23-year-old is currently on loan with the Baggies from Sporting Lisbon, and they will allegedly have an obligation to buy the talented ace for £9 million in the summer, as long as he has made 30 Championship starts by that time (A Bola).
He has already made 29 starts (33 appearances in total), so that seems like it will be a formality.
Pereira has been on fire for West Brom this season, with 16 assists and six goals to his name in 33 outings (Transfermarkt).
So the Baggies will obviously not want to sell him, if they do indeed snap him up on a permanent basis this summer.
West Ham would surely have to offer the Black Country outfit an absolutely massive fee to tempt them into even thinking about selling the Brazilian.
Who knows though? Money talks. And only time will tell if the Hammers are serious about signing the South American.
