# West Ham: Fans fume at Matheus Pereira transfer update

**West Ham have missed out on signing West Brom playmaker Matheus Pereira, [first reported by ExWHUemployee.](https://twitter.com/ExWHUemployee/status/1422961762127728640)**

The midfielder chipped in with [12 goals and six assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matheus-pereira/leistungsdaten/spieler/225984/plus/0?saison=2020) from his 34 appearances for the Baggies last term, although his efforts weren’t quite enough to avoid relegation into the Championship.

West Ham were [interested](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1434657/Leicester-Matheus-Pereira-transfer-news-West-Brom-West-Ham-Leeds-RB-Leipzig) in a deal to sign Pereira, as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2021/22 campaign and find a suitable alternative to Jesse Lingard.

But they have now missed out on the Brazilian’s signature as he has penned a deal with Saudi-Arabian side [Al-Hilal](https://twitter.com/WBA/status/1423607069597392905).

[Ex-WHUemployee](https://twitter.com/ExWHUemployee/status/1422961762127728640) first shared to Hammers fans that they were no longer pushing to sign the 25-year-old, and it’s fair to say they didn’t take it well.

Take a look at the best of the reaction from Twitter below, where Irons supporters are growing increasingly frustrated with the lack of transfer activity this summer…

### Hammers fans react

***“This club is such a joke. Until we get no ownership there is no point is us being excited. Our best season ever is followed with the areola signing I love and sales and nothing else.* *Can’t wait for them to sell rice for a cheap fee also because they just see $$$ coming in.”***
