According to Foot Mercato, Matheus Pereira’s agent has confirmed contact with Premier League clubs about a summer move.
The West Bromwich Albion ace – branded a ‘magician’ by the club’s official website – enjoyed a fine Premier League campaign even with the Baggies going down.
Pereira racked up 11 goals and six assists in the Premier League, with six goals and three assists coming in the final eight games.
The Brazilian playmaker now appears to have put himself in line for a big move, with agent Jolden Vergette claiming talks are underway over an exit.
Pereira does though still have three years left on his contract with West Brom, and they’re demanding around €25million (£21.5million).
The Daily Mail claimed earlier this month that West Ham want to sign Pereira, with The Express suggesting that Leeds United and Leicester City are keen too.
Leeds may be at something of a disadvantage here as both West Ham and Leicester City have Europa League football to offer.
Yet with Marcelo Bielsa in charge and compatriot Raphinha shining, a move to Leeds should still appeal to Pereira, who surely won’t be playing in the Championship next season.
