West Ham 'in advanced talks over Felipe Anderson exit'

West Ham United are reportedly in advanced talks with Lazio over a deal for out-of-favour winger Felipe Anderson.

The Brazilian attacker was recently pictured arriving for pre-season training with David Moyes's side, but his future remains shrouded in uncertainty.

Anderson spent the 2020-21 season on loan at Portuguese giants Porto, but he endured a woeful time of things with just 10 appearances in all competitions.

As a result, the 28-year-old has been strongly linked with a move back to former club Lazio, and Sky Italia claims that negotiations over a deal are progressing well.

The report adds that West Ham are set to receive £2.6m after shelling out £36m to sign him from Lazio in 2018, but they will also retain a 50% sell-on clause.

Anderson has scored 12 goals and assisted 13 more in 73 appearances for the capital outfit, and his existing contract is due to expire next summer.
