Report: Aston Villa keen on West Brom star Matheus Pereira
Aston Villa are one of the Premier League sides monitoring Matheus Pereira with West Brom edging closer to relegation, .
Pereira has been one of the most impressive players in the division in recent weeks. He has scored nine goals in the top flight and 10 in all competitions this season.
Remarkably, he has got four goals and two assists in his last four appearances. And of course, his latest strike came from the penalty spot in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Dean Smith’s side.
The result leaves Sam Allardyce’s men nine points adrift of safety with five games remaining. And it appears that the Baggies making an immediate return to the Championship could spark a bidding war for Pereira.
that there are Premier League sides keen on the Brazilian. And it is suggested that the Villans are amongst his admirers.
It is little surprise to see Villa look at creative players ahead of the summer. Without Jack Grealish, they have struggled to maintain the outstanding form they have shown for the majority of the season.
Grealish has twice as many assists as any of his teammates. And Sunday saw only the fourth league game in which Smith’s side have scored more than once since the turn of the year.
Ross Barkley has struggled and looks set to return to Chelsea when his loan spell ends. So an interest in someone like Pereira looks to make a lot of sense.
