While it was already sort of announced by Lazio, West Ham fans will want to know the latest on Felipe Anderson.

The Brazilian had travelled to Rome on Tuesday in order to undergo his medical ahead of his return to the Serie A side, allowing the Hammers to move on and free his salary from their wage bill.

The forward never managed to convince David Moyes he was the right man for his plans, which led to a very disappointing loan to Porto last year.

Having returned to West Ham without convincing the Portuguese side, the player sought out a new adventure, with Maurizio Sarri happy to work with him at Lazio.

The latest is that Felipe Anderson has now passed his medical, according to TuttoMercatoWeb, and the player is currently heading towards Auronzo di Cadore, where the Italian team are currently undergoing the start of their pre-season.

Down his end, Sarri is ‘looking forward’ to working with a player he wanted back during his time at Napoli and whom he recently praised during the press conference to present himself to the media as the new Lazio manager.
