West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to react after the club posted footage of players arriving at Rush Green ahead of pre-season training.
The likes of Mark Noble, Craig Dawson and Aaron Cresswell could be seen, but supporters have been talking about another player.
What’s the story?
In the footage, Felipe Anderson can be seen returning to Rush Green after his loan spell at FC Porto came to an end.
The Brazilian endured a miserable time in Portugal, and failed to score in ten appearances for FC Porto.
For most of the campaign, Anderson was left out of the squad, or left on the bench as Sérgio Conceição never really took a liking to him.
Now, he’s back in east London, and it will be interesting to see if David Moyes gives him a fresh start at the London Stadium.
Should West Ham keep Felipe Anderson?
In our view, yes.
West Ham have already cashed in on a major signing of theirs, selling Sebastien Haller to Ajax for much less than they paid for him.
Seeing as Anderson cost £33.5 million, it would be a shame to give up on another expensive arrival.
Additionally, it feels unlikely that anyone will even want the South American after his dismal stint in Portugal.
West Ham’s fixture list for the 2021/22 campaign has also been bloated by achieving Europa League qualification.
In that respect, David Moyes should keep Anderson around, in case one of Pablo Fornals or Said Benrahma pick up a significant injury.
For now, let’s see what the West Ham fans on Twitter have been saying about Anderson’s return to Rush Green…
