West Ham United are allegedly interested in signing Lazio winger Felipe Anderson.

According to Sky Sports News, Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini is keen on completing his transfer business before the World Cup begins, and has identified Anderson as a prime target.

The Brazilian, who has earned one cap for his national team, appeared 21 times for Lazio last season, scoring four times and providing seven assists.

The 25-year-old also scored three goals in seven appearances in the Europa League, as his side reached the quarter-finals.

Anderson joined Lazio from Santos for £6.75m in 2013, and has netted 34 times in 177 outings for the Serie A club.
