West Ham United winger Felipe Anderson has made excellent progress in recent weeks.
West Ham broke their transfer record on Anderson this summer, paying £40 million for the attacker (Daily Mail).
And, at the time, the Brazilian was very much an in-demand player.
Anderson had enjoyed a strong season at Lazio, with interest in his services growing.
But as soon as he heard of West Ham’s interest his mind was made up over where he wanted to be.
“What I was really looking for was for a project and a team that believed in me 100 per cent,” Anderson said.
“That’s what I found with West Ham. The coach always supported me and still supports me. When I found out it was West Ham who had an interest in me, it was an easy decision.
“I had no difficulty in saying yes. I knew about the traditions. That’s why I wanted to come here.
“Of course Europe is an objective. Recently there have been big changes to the club, with new players and a new coach, so the most important thing right now is to get the wins.”
Anderson actually made a slow start at the London Stadium, and he initially appeared to be struggling.
The Brazilian looked short of confidence in his initial few display for the Hammers, but he has been much improved of late.
Anderson now has three goals in his last two outings for West Ham and is beginning to prove exactly how much of a danger he can be.
