According to the Guardian, West Ham will look to sell Felipe Anderson in the summer, but could struggle to receive a big fee for the attacker.
The Brazilian forward is currently on a season-long loan at FC Porto.
However, the Guardian state that West Ham are looking to end his stint in Portugal and find the winger a new loan club, in order to protect his value.
Anderson cost the Hammers a then club-record £33.5 million when arriving from Lazio.
However, he severely struggled last season with just one goal in 27 appearances.
This term, the 27-year-old – who earns £115,000-a-week – has only managed to score once in ten appearances.
That isn’t to say he has always been struggling.
In September 2019, Mark Noble called the ex-Santos star a ‘really special’ player in quotes posted on West Ham’s official Twitter account.
The Irons would ideally like to find Anderson a new loan club in Europe, so that he can restore some value and West Ham can obtain a decent fee in the summer.
The Guardian mention that West Ham tried to sell the Brasília-born attacker last summer.
However, a COVID-hit market meant buyers were few and far between for the forward who earns a lofty salary.
The Guardian also mention that West Ham have considered re-signing Marko Arnautovic in an audacious loan deal.
However, his £300,000-a-week wages mean a return to England is highly unlikely.
