The West Ham United winger has been in superb form recently.
West Ham defender Fabian Balbuena spoke to reporters after his side’s draw with Huddersfield on Saturday, and offered high words of praise for his teammate Felipe Anderson, talking up the Brazilian’s technical ability, as quoted by the club’s official website.
The Hammers currently sit in 13th spot in the Premier League table, taking 12 points from their opening 12 league outings, and they will surely head into the two-week international break slightly disappointed with that return.
One particular bright spark for West Ham, however, has been Anderson’s recent run of form.
The 25-year-old joined the Hammers from Lazio for a club record fee of around £42 million in the summer, and he is now finally starting to show what he is truly capable of.
Balbuena spoke to reporters after Saturday’s draw with Huddersfield, and found time to praise Anderson’s quality, as quoted by the club’s official website:
“I think we did well in the second half and we were happy for Felipe to score. It seemed like the ball didn’t want to go in the goal at that moment, because it was bouncing around, but we know Felipe has the technical ability to finish like that. He is in a good moment now and we hope he can keeping on scoring to help us win more games.”
Next up for West Ham is a home game against Manchester City after the two week international break, and Anderson will have to be on his very best form, if his side are to have any chance whatsoever of beating Pep Guardiola’s magnificent side.
