Felipe Anderson seals Lazio transfer, spotted with scarf
West Ham United have finally waved goodbye to Felipe Anderson this week, after a disappointing couple of years.
Fabrizio Romano has shared the news that the Brazilian is in Rome, and will complete his medical this afternoon.
The transfer guru has shared that the paperwork has already been signed, with small parts of the deal to be done.
As well as this, the Hammers will receive 50% of any future transfer fee, should the Italian side decide to sell him again.
Alongside this news, Romano shared a picture of Anderson on his personal Twitter account, with the winger holding a scarf.
“Felipe Anderson has just landed in Rome to re-join Lazio, medicals set to be completed today and paperwork already signed,” he wrote.
Good riddance.
Anderson may have made the journey to Scotland for pre-season, but he was never once interested in turning around his fortunes at the club.
That was made clear against Dundee.
Despite being named on the bench by David Moyes, the South American never got on, and instead spoke to the fitness coach before getting changed out of his kit.
He clearly didn’t want to get injured, but the last year has been nothing short of embarrassing for his career – including that Porto loan spell.
The Irons will be glad to see the back of their once-club record signing, and this will free up some big wages to use themselves.
We can’t wait to see how this money is used, hopefully with someone who will give everything for the badge, and not just give up at the first hurdle.
Expect movement soon.
