Rivaldo tips Anderson to make move to big Premier League side

West Ham’s summer signing and former Chelsea target Felipe Anderson is already being tipped to move on from the London Stadium.

Anderson was signed from Lazio in a £42 million deal during the summer but has struggled to settle in the opening four matches of the new season.

Chelsea were heavily linked with the player, but West Ham won the race to sign him from Lazio.

As reported by the Daily Star, Brazilian icon Rivaldo believes the winger can achieve big things in the Premier League.

He is a nice player, capable of adapting to English football. Yes, he will face some difficulties such as the physical demands of the league. But when you’re talented and professional you could prove your value and I believe he will succeed.

West Ham is not a top team in England but is a reasonable club where he can improve, and show his quality as a player in order to make another jump in the future, perhaps to a bigger English club.

Despite registering two assists in West Ham’s first four games of the season, Anderson has struggled to make a mark under Manuel Pellegrini, with the Hammers enduring a difficult start to the new campaign.

Rivaldo feels that Anderson has the quality to make a positive impact at the London Stadium after initially struggling with the Hammers.

He has one cap for the Brazilian national team to date and has been called up to the latest squad as they prepare to face the USA.
