West Ham are reportedly ‘very close’ to securing a deal for Lazio winger Felipe Anderson.
The 25-year-old has been at Lazio since 2013, after joining from boyhood club Santos.
Making 137 appearances in that time, the wide-man has gained a reputation as a flashy winger with a good end-product.
The 2017/18 season saw Anderson spend more time than he would have liked on the bench, as 12 of his 21 Serie A appearances were as a substitute.
With one Brazil cap to his name, the forward has done in enough in the minds of West Ham to demand a fee north of £30 million – and that could be a deal very close to happening.
Sport Witness claim that Anderson is close to joining the East Londoners, with the fee supposedly in the region of £33.5 million.
With new manager Manuel Pellegrini looking to inject the Hammers with superstar talent, Anderson’s arrival would be a serious statement for the future at the London Stadium.
