Matheus Pereira was one of West Bromwich Albion's only positives in an otherwise disastrous return to the Premier League.

Brought in on loan from Sporting Lisbon in 2019, Pereira played an important role in the Baggies' promotion to the Premier League and was signed on a permanent deal in 2020.

The Brazilian is a technically gifted player who is capable of playing on the wings or as a central attacking midfielder. Slick dribbling and smart distribution are his biggest assets and he assisted six goals in the recently concluded season.

The 25-year-old also has an eye for goal and he ended the 2020-21 season as the Baggies' top scorer with 11 strikes.

The Brazilian has been linked with a number of top-flight clubs and it would not come as a surprise if he left the Hawthorns this summer.


#3 Kyle Bartley

West Bromwich Albion may have conceded the highest number of goals in the recently concluded Premier League season, but that will not detract from the performances of Kyle Bartley at the heart of the Baggies defence.

The 30-year-old joined West Brom from Swansea City in 2018 and was one of the stars of the Baggies' successful promotion bid. He made 30 league appearances in the recently concluded campaign, registering 5.3 clearances per game, along with 1.3 interceptions and 1.2 blocks.

The former Arsenal defender also proved to be a threat in the opposition penalty box and scored three goals.
