A number of West Brom fans have taken to Twitter to react to reports from The Athletic this week suggesting that Aston Villa are interested in Matheus Pereira.

Sam Allardyce’s men’s hopes of staying up are fading – and with that, so could their hopes of holding onto some of their key men.

One of those is unquestionably Pereira. The 24-year-old is the Baggies’ top goalscorer in the Premier League, having taken his tally for the season to nine with four goals coming in his last four appearances.

The latest strike came on Sunday as he scored a penalty in the 2-2 draw with Aston Villa. And it appears that the Villans may not have been surprised to see him make an impact.

According to The Athletic, a number of clubs are monitoring Pereira ahead of the summer. And one of those in the running is Dean Smith’s side.

It certainly appears that the Villa fans would love to see Pereira join them. West Brom supporters, on the other hand, are desperate for the Brazilian to head elsewhere if he does leave.

Many seem quite philosophical about Pereira’s future. They are under no illusions that he is likely to leave should they go down. The 30,000-a-week playmaker is too good to return to the Championship.

However, they have implored Pereira to go almost anywhere else but Villa. They would clearly be incredibly angry if the club gave a sale to the Villans the green light.
