West Ham United close to signing Lazio midfielder Felipe Anderson

West Ham United have reportedly edged closer to a move for Lazio midfielder Felipe Anderson and have also enquired about Jordan Lukaku.

Brazil international Anderson appeared 32 times for the Biancocelesti last term, scoring eight goals and registering 10 assists.

His teammate, the brother of Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku, made 44 appearances in all competition for the Serie A giants.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, West Ham are closing in on Anderson’s services for €40m (£35m) plus 20% of a future sell-on fee should the Brazilian leave the Hammers.

The report also claims that the Hammers have asked Lazio about the availability of Belgium international Lukaku, who plays as a left-back.

West Ham finished 13th in the Premier League table last season, while Lazio finished fifth in the Italian top flight.
