According to La Repubblica, West Ham United are looking to get Jordan Lukaku included in a deal to sign Felipe Anderson.

The Hammers have been chasing Anderson for much of the summer so far, but they are now keen to add his Lazio teammate, Lukaku, too.

And if Manuel Pellegrini could pull off the double-swoop then West Ham’s left-hand side could be a major threat.

West Ham already have Arthur Masuaku at the London Stadium, but Lukaku’s arrival would allow him to play further forward.

Masuaku could then be truly unleashed, with the 24-year-old having even more licence to perform his tricks in a more advanced position.

Lukaku, himself, is also a threat going forward – with his pace making him a nightmare for opposition defenders when he does overlap.

And if West Ham could have Masuaku and Lukaku working in tandem down the left-hand side, then Pellegrini’s side would have some real attacking weapons to hurt teams with next season.
