West Ham appear to be making progress in their pursuit of Lazio star Felipe Anderson.
According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, as cited by Football Italia, the Hammers are overseeing positive negotiations as they ramp up their efforts to recruit Anderson.
West Ham’s interest in the player was only reported last week but it seems they are intent on recruiting the Brazilian, who performed well when afforded the opportunity last season.
Anderson, who is capable of playing on the right wing and in the hole, is a wanted man this summer and West Ham appear to be leading the race to secure his signature.
It’s claimed that Lazio want to receive €45m from the sale of the versatile attacker, but reports have varied in recent weeks regarding the Serie A club’s asking price.
However, it seems Anderson is ready to secure a move to the London Stadium in the near future, with the report indicating that the player would be prepared to pen a five-year deal at the club.
