According to reports in the Daily Mail, West Ham United have launched a £35m-plus bid to sign Lazio attacker Felipe Anderson, who currently earns £70,000-a-week according to the Daily Star, and Irons fans have been quick to have their say on the rumour.

The Daily Mail says that the east London club have already opened talks with the Serie A club and the Brazilian's representatives, with the 25-year-old said to be keen to work under new Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini.

Anderson, who would likely be a replacement for Michail Antonio seeing as he primarily plays on the right wing, enjoyed another impressive 2017/18 campaign with Lazio, scoring eight goals and providing a further 10 assists in 32 appearances in all competitions.

West Ham supporters, who have urged their club to splash out £26m on another 25-year-old star, took to social media to give their thoughts on potentially bringing the South American to the London Stadium, and while one said "I'd cry", another said "Anderson looks like a better player than Antonio".
