West Ham United are said to be interested in signing Felipe Anderson from Lazio.
According to the Guardian, West Ham United are willing to listen to offers for Michail Antonio this summer, and that could suggest that they have confidence that they’ll be able to land Felipe Anderson from Lazio.
The Daily Mail suggest that West Ham are lining up a £35 million bid for Anderson.
The transfer looks a highly ambitious one, on the face of it, but West Ham may just have a quiet confidence that they could get a deal over the line.
The Hammers are reportedly willing to part company with Antonio, and his departure would make no sense, unless they had a replacement winger coming in.
Antonio is currently a big asset to West Ham, when fit, and losing him would be a blow, unless they could source an upgrade.
Anderson offers a very different skill set to Antonio, but his arrival would create great excitement at the London Stadium.
And if West Ham do sanction the sale of Antonio, then Manuel Pellegrini surely must believe that he has a right-winger coming in this summer.
