West Ham submit increased offer for Felipe Anderson

West Ham United have submitted an increased offer for Lazio’s Felipe Anderson, according to Sky Sports.

The link between Anderson and the East-London club has been going on throughout the month, and the Hammers have already had a bid for his services rejected. Now they have put a second one on the table, believed to be in the region of €40million plus a bonus with an appearance number incentive.

Lazio president Claudio Lotito wants €50million for parting with the attacking midfielder also capable of performing in a wide attacking role, but Sky Sports believe he is likely to accept this offer as the bonus related to the number of appearances would be easily achievable.

The 25-year-old Brazilian played for Santos for four years before moving to Rome in 2013. Since then he made 177 appearances in a Lazio shirt and scored 34 goals for them. He’s a technically gifted player and boasts considerable pace even among wingers, and is likely to bring a lot to the attacking potency of Manuel Pellegrini’s team.
