# West Ham could recall Felipe Anderson from Porto loan

West Ham are set to recall [Felipe Anderson](https://readwestham.com/2021/01/05/west-ham-considering-ending-felipe-anderson-loan-porto/) from his loan spell at Porto in order to find a new destination for the winger, according to [Fabrizio Romano.](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1346453359130193923)

In a [tweet](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1346453359130193923) posted on Tuesday, the Italian transfer specialist claimed that West Ham are keen on finding ‘new solutions’ for the Brazilian, who has been confined to just [218 minutes of football in five appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/felipe-anderson/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/159372/verein/720) for Porto this season

The Hammers smashed their transfer record twice in the summer of 2018 after Felipe Anderson’s £36m fee surpassed the £22m record they had set earlier that summer with the signing of Issa Diop from Toulouse ([Football 365](https://www.football365.com/news/west-ham-considering-recalling-anderson-from-porto)).

Anderson undoubtedly enjoyed his best years at Lazio in Italy’s Serie A. He [scored 34 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/felipe-anderson/profil/spieler/159372) and set up a further 39 from his 174 appearances for the Rome-based outfit in all competitions.

He got up and running in his debut season for the Irons with [10 goals and five assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/felipe-anderson/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/159372), but his spell turned sour after he failed to hit those highs last term, [scoring just once](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/felipe-anderson/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/159372) in 2019/20.

### Read West Ham Verdict

The only way the Hammers stand a chance of recouping some of the hefty fee they paid Lazio or for Anderson to rediscover his best form is with regular game-time.

He clearly isn’t getting that with Porto and his lack of playing time is an understandable concern from an Irons perspective. A loan back to Italy, where he enjoyed plentiful success, could be a viable option for all parties.
