Felipe Anderson.

When West Ham United pulled the trigger on a £36million move for Brazilian playmaker Felipe Anderson in the summer of 2018, the excitement in east London was palpable.

The two-time Selecao international had spent five years at Lazio, where he had netted 34 times following his 2013 move from Santos and his move saw West Ham break their transfer record for the second time that summer, following the £22million acquisition of Issa Diop.
