With his Premier League suitors not willing to meet the Baggies’ £30million asking price, the club would likely be forced to reduce it, and that could give Leeds an advantage.
We clearly could do with another attacker and have been linked with Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Adama Traore.
Pereira finished last season with 11 goals and six assists in 33 Premier League games, and he is the one head coach Marcelo Bielsa should be going after instead.
West Brom did a lot of defending last season, but the versatile attacker still managed to produce such an impressive return in front of goal, and we can only imagine what he would do in Leeds’ explosive and relentless attack.
Pereira featured mainly as a number 10 last term, and we have to admit we could do with such a creative genius behind the striker following the departure of Pablo Hernandez.
The West Brom ace can also play on both wings, and having a quality squad depth in attack next season could be the difference between sealing a European spot and settling for a place in the top-ten.
