Wed 21 July 2021 12:15, UK

West Bromwich Albion fans are fearful that Matheus Pereira will leave them after he was not spotted in their pre-season squad yesterday, amid links with West Ham United.

On the way?

West Brom took on Sheffield Wednesday yesterday, but there was no sign of the Brazilian playmaker.

that West Ham United could be keen on him.

And Hammers fans may well be intrigued to have seen the reaction from West Brom supporters at their star man being absent yesterday.

Yeah pereiras leaving boys and this will be our starting 11 for next season 🥲

I wish they would just say what's going on with , if he wants to leave just get rid. We want players who are up for the fight not jump ship after 2 seasons, everyone else in the squad is playing 😤

🤔 — Once again, there’s no sign of Pereira. We’re yet to be given an explanation as to where he is, but the fact the club aren’t saying anything at all is not a good sign…

Why are people surprised Pereira isn’t in the team? He is obviously leaving & no team will want to buy him if he gets seriously injured. Just baffles me! He’s going/gone let’s move on

It’s obvious that Periea is going
It’s up to West Brom to get the right price, we paid 20 Millie for Grady so we need at least 25-30 mill for him, if not he stays. No silly offers needed

Exit no surprise?

If Pereira was to leave West Brom it would not be a surprise, but it would still be a huge blow for the Baggies.

The Brazilian was the star turn of their side in the Premier League last season, despite their relegation.

If he was to arrive at West Ham he could make David Moyes’ side a bigger attacking threat.

With some doubts over whether Jesse Lingard will return, West Ham will surely need a new number 10 to drive their attack forward.

And the appeal of landing Pereira, who was such a threat last term, is obvious.
