Sam Allardyce And Rafa Benitez
Matheus Pereira looks to be on his way out of West Bromwich Albion following the club’s relegation from the Premier League, with the Whites linked with a move for the 25-year-old. Perteira took time to settle into the Premier League but finally started to hit top form under Sam Allardyce, with the now former Baggies boss hailing the player’s potential to make him one of the best players in the Premier League.
Sam Allardyce said: “I have worked with some world class players in my time. I can’t say Matheus is world class but he certainly has the potential to be a top class Premier League player if he continues developing. He is still very young. And I think when he is committed and when he works as hard, as he did against Aston Villa, when he shows that ability – then he is certainly a big difference and a big game player for West Brom. He will produce more performances of that quality as he gets more and more mature. Obviously, I have worked with some top quality players in my time. But in my time at West Brom he has shown some top quality skills and if that development continues he can become a top class player because he is still very young.”
Leeds United already have a Samba flavour in their squad and could add another Brazilian this summer, which would certainly be welcomed by Raphinha.
