A number of West Ham fans have expressed their delight on Twitter after the club confirmed on their official website that they have signed Felipe Anderson from Lazio in a club-record deal for the Hammers.

It has been an exhilarating transfer window already for the Irons. Manuel Pellegrini has already strengthened a number of positions within his squad with Fabian Balbuena becoming their sixth first-team addition since the start of the summer.

And they have today confirmed on their official website that signing number seven is now through the door for a club-record fee with Anderson joining from the Serie A outfit after five seasons in Italy.

The 25-year-old had established himself as one of the more creative and exciting players in the league during his time with the Biancocelesti and West Ham fans will be hoping that he can earn a similar reputation in the Premier League following his switch to the London Stadium.

He has been widely linked with a move for a little while now, so there is definitely a sense of relief that the deal has been completed, while there is a lot of optimism regarding the direction that West Ham are heading in after such a productive window already.
