Lazio are locked in talks with West Ham United for Felipe Anderson.

Sky Italia says Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri wants the Brazilian in the squad for his 4-3-3 formation and there was another meeting with the player's entourage on Friday.

Still only 28, the Brazilian spent five years at Lazio before his €38m sale to West Ham in 2018.

He failed to settle in London and spent this season on loan with FC Porto.

His contract with the Hammers only runs to June 2022 and Lazio are confident they can get the deal done for €9m.
