West Ham attacker Felipe Anderson is reportedly on the verge of an exit amid links with former club Lazio.
The Brazilian has decided to leave the London Stadium this summer and is pushing for a reunion in Italy, per Italian outlet La Lazio Siamo Noi.
The Serie A outfit are keen on sealing off the deal at £4million while the Irons want £8million in exchange for his services.
David Moyes does not see Anderson as part of his plans for next season and the club-record signing is more than happy to oblige and push for an exit after an unsuccessful spell in the nation’s capital.
For whatever price the club sell him at, they’ll have made a significant loss on his transfer.

Given how poorly the Anderson situation has been dealt with, some West Ham Super Fans took to Facebook to voice their displeasure.
Here’s what they said.
Hopefully, this signing is an eye-opener for the higher-ups at the club. We’re looking to bridge the gap between us and the top four, and this is not the way to do it.
Leicester are the classic example of a club that have their recruitment sorted, and we must do that to go to the next level.
Once we finish three seasons in the top six, our pull will increase and we could very well become legitimate top-four contenders by 2023/24.
Sabah have dubbed the player ‘world-famous’ which is pretty surprising given the lack of suitors.
We’re having to compromise with his price because there aren’t any clubs keen on his services. Hopefully, we get this out of the way as soon as possible.
