West Brom boss Valerien Ismael says Matheus Pereira is 'not committed' to playing for the club in the Championship amid interest from Watford... with the Baggies wanting £25m to part ways with the midfielder

Matheus Pereira is a loan target for Watford after West Bromwich Albion boss Valerien Ismael claimed the playmaker is 'not committed' to representing the club in the Championship.

Albion are willing to sell the Brazilian, a star performer last season despite their relegation from the Premier League, but are unlikely to consider offers below £25million during this transfer window.

Pereira hit back angrily at Ismael's words and remains very keen to leave, with Saudi club Al Hilal prepared to offer him a huge pay rise if they can agree terms with West Brom.
