It may still be a shock to the system for some West Ham fans, but they currently have a squad stacked full of internationals and top quality players. The pick of the bunch though surely has to be Felipe Anderson, and as the Hammers have tweeted clips of him training with the Brazilian national team the Irons have been cooing over him.

Felipe Anderson is a first at West Ham. The club has never before had a Brazilian international on their books, and so far their summer signing from Lazio is living up to the bill. His efforts this season have seen him gain plenty of attention from around the world as he’s bagged an incredible eight goals and four assists in his debut season, despite being deployed out on the left.
When Anderson is up for a game, he really kicks on and stars. Consistency was one of the only issues that the fans had to worry about when the Brazilian first signed, and that has lived true as at times he has looked like a different player to the one currently expressing himself whilst training with his countryman. However, they wouldn’t swap him for anyone and aren’t at all surprised to hear of Real Madrid’s recent interest.

Total class and has had a good first season, his second season will see us top six and he will be with us

Could be a good thing for us. Being in the company of his countrymen for a few days may pick him up. It can't be easy being abroad in a different environment all the time, so this may reinvigorate him.

The Hammers absolutely adore Felipe Anderson, and would be devastated if he left the club anytime soon.
