Some West Ham fans were left disappointed after a report emerged over the club’s asking price for Felipe Anderson.

According to , the Hammers have offered Lazio the chance to sign the ace for just €8m (£6.8m). However, there are a raft of teams interested in the player including, Galatasaray and Flamengo.

It comes following a torrid time with Porto last season, where the attacker started just four games across all competitions. The South American scored and assisted no goals during his time at the Estadio do Dragao.

He returned to east London following his failed loan spell and has been put on the transfer list, alongside Andriy Yarmolenko and Manuel Lanzini.

TBR View: Asking price for Anderson not enough as West Ham undertake squad rebuild

Last season’s sixth place finish meant David Moyes’ side qualified for the Europa League. It begs a question over the makeup of their squad, and ones the club are seemingly keen on answering.

Reports back in April claimed Moyes wanted to undertake an of the squad.

However, the asking price for Anderson is not enough for West Ham to complete an overhaul. And after paying £36m for the Brazilian, £6.8m is an embarrassing sell-on fee.

Here is how fans reacted…

I’m still gutted it’s not worked out for him with us, I think there’s a player there somewhere, but he will never fit in a Moyes team with his work ethic.🤷🏻‍♂️⚒

Think we should revisit the offer at the end of the window if we can, he has something to prove during pre season and I hope that can drive him onto changing his attitude. Bring back 18/19 Felipe please 🙌🏼
