Gary Lineker has suggested that he has been entirely convinced by West Ham United’s Felipe Anderson, on Match of the Day, which was broadcast on 8th December on BBC One.

Anderson netted his fifth goal in six Premier League appearances for West Ham in their 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace.

The Brazilian curled home a wonderful effort to score West Ham’s final goal in the contest.

And Lineker was very impressed with the big money signing from Lazio’s contribution.

He said: “He’s been a great signing, he has. That’s for sure.”

Anderson actually made a fairly slow start to life at West Ham, as he initially took time to adapt to playing in the Premier League.

However, he is rapidly turning into the Hammers’ talisman now, and he seems to be adding consistency to his game.

West Ham’s win over Palace ensured that their good run of form continued, with Manuel Pellegrini’s side starting to click.

West Ham have now won three matches in a row, and moved up to 10th place in the Premier League table.
