Real consider Anderson as Hazard backup?

West Ham United winger Felipe Anderson has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Real Madrid.

Anderson made a surprise move to the Hammers last summer, and the Brazilian has contributed eight goals and four assists from 31 outings in the Premier League.

The 25-year-old also holds a long-term contract at the London Stadium but according to Sky Sports News, Real are admirers of the playmaker.

The report claims that Real may look to sign Anderson if they are unsuccessful in their efforts to sign Eden Hazard from Chelsea.

Hazard is allegedly regarded as Real's top target for the summer window, but Chelsea are likely to demand a fee in the region of £100m.

Real may be happy to bid in excess of £60m in order to sign Anderson.
