Lazio star Felipe Anderson wants to leave the Serie A side to complete a move to West Ham, according to claims from Italy.
The Brazilian playmaker has been a target for the Hammers for some time now and negotiations between the Premier League side and Lazio remain complicated.
It’s believed that West Ham are close to reaching an agreement to sign Anderson for a club-record deal, and according to Calciomercato journalist Nicolo Schira, the player himself wants to join Manuel Pellegrini’s side this summer.

A sticking point in West Ham’s talks with Lazio is understood to be linked with the Italian club’s demand for an inclusion of a future sell-on clause – something that the Hammers are evidently uncertain over.
However, it seems after further talks, West Ham remain in pole position to sign Anderson as they continue to build for next season.
