Porto complete the signing of West Ham's Felipe Anderson

Porto complete the signing of West Ham's Felipe Anderson

FC Porto have completed the signing of West Ham United winger Felipe Anderson on a season-long loan deal.

The versatile Brazilian forward is not in West Ham’s plans, having only made two very brief cameo appearances for West Ham in four Premier League games this season, 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.
