Porto working hard to bring in West Ham winger Felipe Anderson

FC Porto are in negotiations to strike a deal with English Premier League outfit West Ham United to sign their Brazilian winger Felipe Anderson on a season-long loan deal.

The versatile forward is not in West Ham’s plans, having only made two very brief cameo appearances for West Ham in four Premier League games, being an unused sub in each of their last two matches.

He did, however, play in all three of the London club’s League Cup matches this campaign, scoring once and assisting twice in the domestic cup competition.

However, with the 27-year old out of favour at the club, Porto are looking to capitalise, hopeful of bringing in the one-time Brazil international on a loan for the remainder of the campaign.

Anderson played 27 games for West Ham last term, scoring once.
