East London giants West Ham United have emerged as frontrunners for wantaway midfielder Andreas Pereira.

Readwestham claim that the Hammers are ahead of other interested clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea in the race to sign the Belgian-born Brazilian player.

Andreas Pereira has been on the outskirts of the Manchester United team this season on his return from a loan spell at Spanish La Liga giants Valencia.

Los Che are also interested in the young Brazilian midfielder who could be available on loan or at a cut-price deal.

Andreas Pereira has six months remaining on his current Red Devils contract and the player is reluctant to sign a new deal unless he can be guaranteed regular first team football.

Manchester United can activate the extra year clause in his contract thus taking him to the end of the 2019/20 season.

Andreas Pereira started the season in the Red Devils starting XI.

He was in the starting lineup for the Premier League games against Leicester City (2-1) and Brighton and Hove Albion (2-3).

Andreas Pereira lost his place in the Manchester United XI shortly after the defeat against the Seagulls.

He has been able to play just six times for Manchester United in the new campaign.
