West Ham United fans should be excited about Manuel Pellegrini’s latest comments on Felipe Anderson to Football.London.

Anderson was arguably the pick of West Ham’s signings last summer, and he has enjoyed a fine first season at the London Stadium since signing for £40 million (BBC Sport).

The Brazilian may have been inconsistent at times, but he has been West Ham’s most productive attacking talent this term.

Anderson leads West Ham’s scoring charts, with 10 goals to his name so far this season.

But Pellegrini does not feel that Anderson is playing anywhere near the top of his game yet.

“He’s been a very good signing for our club. It was a good season for him but I think he will improve a lot after playing one season here,” Pellegrini said.

If Pellegrini is right and Anderson does kick on again next season then West Ham will have one of the biggest weapons in the Premier League at their disposal.

Anderson has already proven a major threat to defences in England, so if he can take his game to new levels next term, then West Ham will look hugely dangerous.
