Report: West Ham close to completing huge deal as Pellegrini lays down the foundations

West Ham United fans in the Transfer Tavern could be in for an exciting couple of days with the latest rumours surrounding the club and a possible huge deal.

The Hammers are keen to make an impact in the transfer window this summer following the arrival of Manuel Pellegrini and could be on the verge of a massive transfer that will shock a number of the residents in the bar.

According to a report by Gianluca Di Marzio, who is a reputable Italian journalist, the Irons are close to completing the signing of SS Lazio’s Felipe Anderson, with a deal likely to be done and dusted within the next 24 hours.

It has been claimed that a fee of around £26.4million with an added clause of 20 per cent of his resale value is enough to get the deal across the line, which will no doubt delight the locals in the bar.

An attacking midfielder that is able to play in a variety of positions, the Brazilian is an exciting player that will certainly bring the flair back to the London Stadium.

Landlord’s Verdict

The Brazilian would certainly be considered a coup by many of the West Ham fans in the Tavern and they will be delighted with the ambition that the club has shown to secure a deal for a player of his quality.

Pellegrini will be hoping the pending arrival of Anderson would be enough to help convince other high-profile names to join him at the London Stadium as he sets out to turn the Hammers into a competitive force next season.

Now it’s just about getting this deal over the line.
