West Ham United only signed Felipe Anderson in the summer, and he has enjoyed an excellent first season at the London Stadium.

According to Bleacher Report, West Ham United owner David Sullivan has previously told Felipe Anderson he will be allowed to leave if a top six club come in for him.

Anderson has been one of the stars of West Ham’s season, and currently leads the club’s top scoring charts.

The Brazilian has hit nine goals in his first campaign in English football, and West Ham are prepared for interest in their star man.

The Hammers want to keep Anderson, and are prepared to offer him a new contract, but Sullivan’s past words could come back to haunt them.

Sullivan has reportedly told Anderson he will be allowed to leave if a Champions League chasing club comes in for him.

West Ham are said to want £75 million for Anderson if they are to sell in the same report, so they would at least bring in good money for Manuel Pellegrini to spend.

But the departure of Anderson would surely cause anger among the London Stadium crowd, as he is arguably West Ham’s best attacking talent.
