Left for £16m: West Brom hit gold selling ace who’s now worth millions less
West Bromwich Albion have come out the other side of a frantic summer transfer window reinvigorated and eager to win promotion back up to the Premier League, as Carlos Corberan’s side currently sitting top of the early Championship standings.
It was an off-season of much upheaval – as first-team stalwarts such as Brandon Thomas-Asante, Conor Townsend and Okay Yokuslu all departed to name a few – but the Baggies don’t look too damaged for it at the moment, with no defeats next to their name from six league clashes to date.
West Brom would have been hurting when this former star walked away from the Hawthorns in 2021 too, after a whirlwind couple of seasons saw this exciting attacker become a firm fan’s favourite.
Pereira’s time at West Brom
Pereira would constantly get fans out of their seats when donning a Baggies strip over two seasons, with his heroics during the 2019/20 campaign helping West Brom win promotion up to the Premier League.
The Brazilian trickster would amass a ridiculous eight goals and 20 assists across that full campaign, as then Baggies boss Slaven Bilic must have been so relieved to have such a creative machine in Pereira in his ranks toying with second-tier defences for fun.
