According to Globo Esporte in Brazil, West Ham United are currently the most attractive proposition for Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira.

The Hammers have seen Jack Wilshere go down with another injury, and with Carlos Sanchez and Manuel Lanzini out too, adding quality in midfield is key.

A versatile player who can play deep, centrally or wide would be ideal for West Ham right now, and recent rumours have linked them with a move for Pereira.

The Brazllian, 22, has been out of favour under Jose Mourinho, and whilst his sacking today may change his fortunes, he could still leave in January.

Pereira’s contract expires this summer, and whilst United have a one-year option on the contract, he may choose to leave in order to play first-team football elsewhere, with a loan deal in January now on the cards.

Globo Esporte now report that West Ham are the most attractive offer on the table for Pereira, and the Hammers may well be in pole position to land the creative midfield player in January.

After loan spells with Granada and Valencia, Pereira could head out of Old Trafford temporarily once again, but with a reluctance to sign a long-term deal, Pereira is understood to be open to joining a team on less money in order to play regularly – and West Ham could set up a loan-to-buy deal next month.
