Felipe Anderson remains in Scotland as Lazio talks progress
Lazio are progressing with their bid to sign West Ham United winger Felipe Anderson, according to ExWHUemployee.
The Brazilian looks set to join his former club, and could even be released on a free for that to happen this summer.
Fabrizio Romano shared this week that Anderson leaving for free would save wages and hand the Irons a big sell-on clause.
Writing on his personal Twitter account on Wednesday, ExWHUemployee shared a big update on his immediate future.
The Hammers are currently in Scotland on their pre-season training base, and it appears as though Anderson is still present.
“It appears that talks have happened today regarding Anderson’s move to Lazio,” he wrote.
“Things are progressing. There is still a way to go and the deal is not completed yet, personal terms are still not officially agreed and the player remains in Scotland at this point.”
Slowly does it.
The quicker this one comes to an end, the better.
Anderson is proving to be more hassle than he is actually worth, and at this moment, he appears to be worth literally nothing to the Irons.
Our once record signing is about to leave for nothing only a matter of years after signing, and David Moyes must just want him off the wage bill.
Getting rid of the player will allow the Irons to spend big wages on a couple of players likely, with one of those possibly Declan Rice.
If this move allows Rice to be tied down and a new attacking signing to arrive, it would be perfect, and no one would complain.
GSB have to justify this decision by pumping it straight back into the wage bill at the club, and if not, they continue to be a joke.
