The West Ham United winger has been excellent this season.
West Ham star Aaron Cresswell spoke to reporters after his side’s fine win over Southampton yesterday, and raved about the quality of his teammate Felipe Anderson, labelling the Brazilian as ‘unbelievable’ and ‘fantastic’, as quoted by the club’s official website.
Anderson, 25, has been in sensational form for the Hammers, after making his £42 million switch from Lazio in the summer, chalking up eight goals and two assists in 19 Premier League appearances so far.
Anderson has played a key contributing role for his team this season, and Manuel Pellegrini’s men have the winger to thank for the five wins that they have chalked up so far this month.
And Cresswell is certainly a big fan of the Brazilian star.
The left-back spoke exclusively to the club’s official website, and offered high words of praise for Anderson:
“Felipe’s two goals were unbelievable and we got the three points, which puts us back on winning track. Felipe has been fantastic. Hopefully that continues. He’s been excellent since he joined West Ham. It was a tough start. We lost the first four games and, as I said, he’s continued and he’s our top scorer. He’s our man and long may that continue.”
West Ham have two very winnable games coming up – away at Burnley and at home to Brighton, and should they achieve six points from those outings, they will be in a great position heading into the new year.
Anderson will be vital to the Hammers’ hopes of finishing inside the top seven, and if he continues his excellent run of form, the east London outfit have every chance of earning a Europa League berth this season.
