West Bromwich Albion’s attacking midfielder, Matheus Pereira, is ‘worth the entrance fee alone’ according to one fan on Twitter.
The 23-year-old, who is on loan from Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon, netted the equaliser in Tuesday night’s comeback draw with bottom-of-the-table Barnsley.
Pereira took to Twitter to share a message to those that follow him and it appears many of the West Brom fans were quick to jump to the social media platform to praise the Brazilian’s recent form.
Worth the entrance fee alone keep it going????????

Pereira has already bagged three goals and seven assists in his first 11 matches in the Championship. He spent last season on loan at FC Nuremberg but failed to prevent the German club from being relegated from the Bundesliga.
It’s great to watch you play Matheus! I hope your ankles are okay ???? see you Saturday ????????

What do we think?
Despite reports that the player has agreed to personal terms over a permanent move next summer, it’s still relatively too early to say whether Pereira can be snapped up by the Baggies on a permanent basis from Sporting due to certain factors being achieved.
The Brazilian has showcased a class that those at The Hawthorns are not always accustomed to with his ability to make things happen in the final third and Albion will hope that they can secure automatic promotion from the Championship this season to prize their gifted loan star away from the Europa League club.
