Report: Huge deal almost done as Pellegrini ushers new era into West Ham

West Ham United are on the verge of a huge transfer deal this summer and the fans in the Transfer Tavern will not be able to believe they will be able to bring this man to the London Stadium this summer.

The arrival of Manuel Pellegrini was considered by many of the residents in the bar as a major coup this summer, with many feeling that the board had not shown any ambition in the past and were concerned with who they may have brought in.

However, the appointment of the Chilean appears to have brought a new era to the Hammers, with reports in Italy suggesting that the Irons are about to seal a huge deal for one of Serie A’s stars.

Sky in Italy are claiming that West Ham and SS Lazio have agreed to a deal for Felipe Anderson worth approximately £26.4million with an added clause of 20 per cent of his resale value and it is believed the two sides are almost across the line.

Landlord’s Verdict

The West Ham fans in the Tavern will be delighted that the side are able to bring a player of the Brazilian’s quality to the London Stadium as they look to begin an era under Pellegrini. The 25-year-old is an extremely versatile player and will bring a huge amount of flair to the Hammers.

The locals will hope the arrival of Anderson can also help to convince another huge name to join them this summer, although they will need to get this one done first.
