OFFICIAL: West Ham sign midfielder Felipe Anderson from Lazio for a club record fee

  /  autty

West Ham have completed the club-record signing of Felipe Anderson from Lazio on a four-year deal.

West Ham reportedly will pay an initial club-record £35m to Lazio with the deal potentially rising to £42m with performance-based add-ons.

The Brazilian is new boss Manuel Pellegrini’s seventh summer signing.

The 25-year-old, who has been capped once by Brazil, scored 34 goals in 177 appearances for the Italian club.

The deal eclipses the £22m West Ham paid Toulouse for France Under-21 defender Issa Diop last month.

Anderson was part of Brazil's Olympic gold medal-winning squad in 2016.
