# West Ham United: Hammers fans flock to admission involving Matheus Pereira and Sam Johnstone

**Flocking to[Twitter](https://twitter.com/WHUFCFZ/status/1412401370704060417), many West Ham United fans have gone wild for a transfer admission by manager Valerien Ismael concerning West Bromwich Albion duo Matheus Pereira and Sam Johnstone.**

Both men have been heavily linked to the Hammers recently, with[football.london](https://www.football.london/west-ham-united-fc/transfer-news/west-ham-sam-johnstone-transfer-20728213) believing West Ham are looking to sign Johnstone this summer as a replacement for Lukasz Fabianski.

Meanwhile, attacking midfield ace Pereira could be seen as an alternative to Jesse Lingard as West Ham eye a possible move this summer [(Daily Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1434657/Leicester-Matheus-Pereira-transfer-news-West-Brom-West-Ham-Leeds-RB-Leipzig)).

As per reports, both men could also go for cut prices, with [the Athletic](https://theathletic.com/2501031/2021/04/07/sam-johnstone-west-brom/?redirected=1) detailing Johnstone could be snapped up for in and around £10 million while Pereira is expected to cost around £25m (Daily Star on Sunday via [Hammers News](https://www.hammers.news/transfer-news/valerien-ismael-comments-on-johnstone-and-pereira-is-great-news-for-west-ham/)).
