Felipe Anderson has joined West Ham United from Lazio.
West Ham have signed Anderson from Italian club Lazio for a transfer fee reported by The Mirror to be worth £35 million.
Alberto, who can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a winger, was on the books of Liverpool from 2013 until 2016, and the 25-year-old has said that Anderson will be missed by Lazio.
Calciomercato.com quotes Alberto as saying: “Felipe Anderson and de Vrij are two extraordinary players and for that we will miss them, but we just have to work hard because Tare is working to bring someone else in.”
Quality footballer
Anderson is a very talented and creative footballer, and Alberto’s comments underline just how good the Brazil international is.
The 25-year-old attacking midfielder can be inconsistent, but when on form, the former Santos star is a handful for opposition defenders.
West Ham are building a strong squad, and the London Stadium faithful will expect Manuel Pellegrini’s side to at least challenge for the top six of the Premier League next season.
Among the other players West Ham have signed so far in the summer transfer window is former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere on a free.
