Andreas Pereira thanks Fulham fans following transfer exit links
Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira has sent a message thanking the fans after rumours of a January transfer.
The Brazilian midfielder featured 37 times in the Premier League for the Whites last season, but has lost his place in the side to summer signing, Emile Smith-Rowe.

Despite the offers, Pereira now looks to be staying put, and started on the bench for the Cottagers as they prepare to face Newcastle (1 February).
Fulham were able to do a league double over the Magpies, winning 2-1 (1 February), with Pereira coming off the bench and assisting his teammate Rodrigo Muniz for the match winner.

Following the 2-1 loss to Man United, that saw Adama Traore re-ignite his spat with Lisandro Martinez, the Whites currently sit 10th in the Premier League table as their hopes of European football begin to disappear.
Pereira has been a key part of the team this season, but often in a more supporting role, having featured off the bench four times this season.
The Brazil international has not let that stop him from enjoying a major milestone, after reaching 100 appearances for the club this season.
Pereira posted on his Instagram, saying: “Thank you, Fulham FC! 100 games and counting, grateful to my teammates, staff and fans for the endless support. Let’s keep making history together!”
Fulham fans will be hoping to have Rodrigo Muniz available for their trip to Newcastle, following a nasty fall at the White’s training ground last week.
The Cottagers have been in the market for a new striker as Muniz and Raul Jimenez fail to convince, and Fulham have made a third bid for Scottish wonderkid, Brodie Dair.
