West Ham United attacker Felipe Anderson has netted five goals in his last six outings.

Manuel Pellegrini’s comments to Football.London about Felipe Anderson should be seriously exciting for the London Stadium crowd.

Anderson made a slow start at West Ham, but he has started to click into gear now.

The Brazilian has been in wonderful form in recent weeks, and he is rapidly establishing himself as a hugely dangerous player to every team in the Premier League.

But Pellegrini does not even think that Anderson has fully adapted to the Premier League yet.

“It’s always difficult when you have to make so many changes in the way you play, when you bring in new players to start playing the way we wanted them to,” Pellegrini said, after Anderson scored again for West Ham in their 3-2 win over Crystal Palace.

“To do that, you need good players. I think Felipe is, as I said last week, still needs time to get used to the Premier League but in every game he has demonstrated he is a top player.”

If Anderson still does have another gear to go into then West Ham fans are in for a treat.

The former Lazio man has already proven to be a nightmare for defenders, and he is a thrilling player to watch.

West Ham have now won three games in a row, and moved up to 10th in the Premier League table.
