West Brom will be looking for around £40m combined for Matheus Pereira and Sam Johnstone, says the club's former midfielder Carlton Palmer.

Both players are being heavily linked with moves away from The Hawthorns following West Brom's relegation to the Championship.

According to Daily Express journalist Ryan Taylor, West Ham have held talks with Pereira's representatives over a potential transfer. And prior, Sky Sports claimed that the east London club had made an unsuccessful bid for Johnstone.

The offer was thought to be worth £6m, well short of what ex-West Brom striker Kevin Phillips expects them to get.

He told West Brom News that the Midlands club should be receiving £20m each for Johnstone and Pereira, a sentiment Palmer also shares.

"For sure, for sure," the former England international told FFC when asked if he agreed with Phillips. "But, you see, they're in a position West Brom where clubs will know they're wanting to offload these players because of the fact that they were relegated.

"Still, you'd be expecting West Brom to be looking for that type of money for those two players."

In regards to Johnstone specifically, it is hard to imagine West Ham going from £6m to £20m. However, with both Arsenal and Tottenham said to be interested, West Brom should still be able to get a decent fee for the goalkeeper.
