West Ham outcast Felipe Anderson has reportedly been ‘offered’ to former club Lazio for around £7million.
The Brazilian midfielder is widely expected to leave the Hammers this summer after falling out of favour in east London.
In an effort to find regular first-team football the 28-year-old spent the 2020/21 campaign on loan with FC Porto – making just 10 appearances in all competitions.
Now, a report from Football Italia, as cited by West Ham News & Views on Twitter, has claimed the Irons could sell the ace at a cut-down fee this summer.

Further reports have intimated the attacking midfielder is edging towards the exit door at the London Stadium as West Ham look to recoup some of the club record £36million (BBC).
During the one-cap Brazilian’s first spell in Rome, Anderson made 177 appearances, scoring 34 and assisting 39 goals.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Getting a fee in the region of the mooted £7million would have to be classed as a positive for the Hammers.
Albeit still valued at £9million (Transfermarkt), having endured a wretched season in Portugal, West Ham would no doubt take anything close to the valuation.
Moyes clearly has no plans to utilise the Brazilian and instead could see the incoming fee to put towards strengthening the squad.
