West Ham star Felipe Anderson wanted by Real Madrid in £65m deal

West Ham winger Felipe Anderson is a transfer target for Real Madrid, according to Sky Sports News. Real Madrid are trying to sign Chelsea star Eden Hazard but Anderson is seen as their back-up choice.

Hazard might struggle to earn his move to Real Madrid this summer as Chelsea have a transfer ban and will be desperate to keep their current players.

This could lead Zinedine Zidane to turn his attention to West Ham star Anderson, who joined for a club-record fee from Lazio last summer.

Sky Sports News adds that Anderson could cost the Spanish La Liga giants up to £65m, which would be a major profit for the Hammers.

Anderson joined West Ham from Lazio last summer and he has enjoyed an impressive first season at The London Stadium.

The Brazil international, who recently earned a recall to the national team, has scored nine goals and is West Ham’s top scorer.

Operating on the left flank, Anderson has stirred up excitement with his skill and pace on the wing and his ability to drift inside and occupy a central position.

But West Ham could face a battle to hold onto the 25-year-old maverick talent with Real Madrid interested.
