West Ham look to have ‘completed’ the sale of Felipe Anderson back to former club Lazio.
The Brazilian attacking midfielder was expected to leave the Hammers after a disappointing loan spell at FC Porto last season.
Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla had claimed that the 28-year-old will undergo a medical in order to finalise a switch to the Serie A side.
Now, Football Transfers on Twitter have posted an image of the star donning a Lazio scarf in the back of a car claiming the move is all tied up.

Recently, Fabrizio Romano claimed that the deal won’t involve a transfer fee and instead will carry a 50 per cent sell-on clause.
Anderson arrived in east London from Lazio for £34.2million in 2018 (Transfermarkt), before making 73 appearances as an Iron.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Selling the once capped Brazil man was a must this summer in order to free up a squad space and player wages.
However, although nothing has yet been officially confirmed by either club, allowing the £9million valued ace to leave for free seems an odd piece of business.
Whilst form would dictate a low incoming fee, recouping any of the 2018 expenditure would’ve gone towards David Moyes’ own spending pot.
Overall things haven’t quite worked for Anderson at the London Stadium, but the club and supporters would no doubt with the Brazilian all the best.
