West Ham United winger Felipe Anderson had a great season for Manuel Pellegrini’s side last term.

Jamie Redknapp has claimed in the Daily Mail that West Ham United insiders have been raving about Felipe Anderson.

Anderson looked very promising in his first season at West Ham last term, after signing for £36 million from Lazio (Mail).

However, Manuel Pellegrini has insisted that the Brazilian has not yet shown his best at the London Stadium.

And Redknapp has heard that Anderson has looked very dangerous in West Ham pre-season.

The pundit now thinks that Anderson’s remaining time at West Ham is limited, and expects Pellegrini’s side to have to fend off big offers for him next summer.

He said: “My spies at West Ham have raved about Anderson’s pre-season performances. Those who work with him day in, day out say he is in red-hot form.

“The Brazilian is a superstar in waiting and I expect we’ll see that side of him this season. After losing Marko Arnautovic to the Chinese Super League, West Ham have a void to fill in attack.

“Sorry West Ham fans, but I think we’ll see Anderson enjoy a stand-out season and that big clubs will come calling with £60m-plus bids next summer.”

Anderson is part of a hugely exciting attack at West Ham this season.

The additions of Sebastian Haller and Pablo Fornals over the summer have really enhanced the quality of the Hammers forward options.

West Ham get their season underway at the weekend, when they face the daunting task of facing Manchester City on opening day.
