West Bromwich Albion want to loan Matheus Pereira from Sporting Lisbon, according to Record.

And the Portuguese newspaper claims a proposal has already been submitted by the Baggies.

West Brom are at least a winger short after Jacob Muphy and Jefferson Montero returned to their parent clubs at the end of last season, although Oliver Burke has returned to the Hawthorns following a loan spell of his own.

And signing Pereira, who can play on either flank as well as in the number 10 position, could help to fill the void left by the pair.

The Sporting academy product spent last season on loan to 1. FC Nürnberg, then of the German top flight, but has a contract until 2022 in Lisbon.

Record reported earlier this week that Pereira could still have a future at Sporting, having impressed in pre-season.

The Brazilian would be the second Lisbon-based player to join West Brom on loan this summer, after the Benfica midfielder Filip Krovinovic.

Would Pereira be a good addition for West Brom?
