According to UOL, Felipe Anderson expects to be sold by West Ham this summer following a disappointing loan spell at FC Porto.
The Brazilian news outlet claim that the 28-year-old is already waiting for the Hammers to negotiate his exit with other clubs.
As UOL state, this is mainly down to the fact that his contract expires in June 2022, so if West Ham don’t sell now, they might lose him for nothing.
That would be disastrous, seeing as the Irons paid £35 million for him.
Anderson also expects to be sold because West Ham have no intention of ‘reusing’ him – as UOL put it.
While on loan at FC Porto this season, the 1-cap Brazil international has only made nine appearances.
Anderson hasn’t scored once in those outings, and has just a single assist to show for his efforts.
After an initialling promising start to life in east London, West Ham’s second most expensive signing has seriously gone downhill.
Anderson did well in his debut campaign. He scored ten goals in 40 appearances, while also recording five assists.
His efforts led to Gary Lineker describing him as a ‘good player’ on Twitter.
Sadly, it now looks like his time at West Ham is up.
Hopefully, this will force the Irons into a rethink in their transfer strategy.
The two most expensive signings in their history, £45 million Sebastien Haller and £35 million Anderson, have turned out to be woeful purchases.
Haller has already left the London Stadium, and Anderson looks set to follow.
Surely, this is the worst £80 million West Ham have ever spent.
