West Ham United have taken a heavy hit on the sale of Felipe Anderson to Lazio.

The London Evening Standard says Anderson has left the club to join Lazio in a deal worth around £4million.

Anderson joined the Hammers from Lazio in 2018 for a then club-record £36m but the Brazilian has struggled to perform.

He spent last season on loan at Porto, playing 10 games, and he has now left on a permanent basis.

West Ham will take a loss of more than £30m for the attacking midfielder but they do have a 50 per cent sell-on clause in the deal that sees him return to Italy.
