The Story in 60 Seconds

The72 writer Euan Walsh argues that 23-year-old right-back Brayann Pereira has helped West Bromwich Albion move past missing out on summer transfer target Danny Imray. West Brom failed to secure Imray on a permanent deal after his loan spell, with Wrexham completing a £5m move instead. The Baggies subsequently signed Pereira and Nolan Galves for under £2m combined.

Following a season-ending ACL injury to Galves and a red card in his own debut against Derby County, Pereira has emerged as a key starter under manager James Morrison. Walsh highlights Pereira's standout performance against Millwall and notes that West Brom currently sit fifth in the Championship, ten points ahead of Imray's Wrexham.
