West Ham's Felipe Anderson arrives in Rome to complete Lazio transfer

West Ham winger Felipe Anderson has landed in Rome ahead of his impending transfer to former club Lazio, having previously left the Serie A side to join the Hammers in 2018.

West Ham initially brought Anderson to the Premier League in what was then a club record deal worth up to £36m. The Brazilian impressed during his debut season, scoring 10 times in 40 appearances, but struggled for game time thereafter and spent 2020/21 on loan at Porto.

However, that temporary switch to Portugal did little to reignite Anderson’s career and he managed only 10 appearances in all competitions, just five of them as a starter.

Anderson, now 28, has been welcomed back to Rome with a message posted by Lazio’s official Twitter account. In the picture he is seen smiling in the back of a car wearing a Lazio scarf.
