West Ham winger Felipe Anderson has set himself a goal of scoring more goals, he told the media in Brazil.
Speaking to Globo Esporte, Anderson revealed he is enjoying the freedom he has to play on the left and cut inside but he wants to score more.
Anderson is West Ham’s top scorer this season with nine goals, having moved to East London in a club-record deal last summer.
Felipe Anderson at West Ham
Anderson moved from Lazio to West Ham last summer and has already become a fan favourite for his skilful performances from the left flank.
The recently recalled Brazil international has the freedom to either hug the touchline or drift inside and he has thrived under Manuel Pellegrini’s guidance.
In an impressive debut season, the 25-year-old has scored nine goals in all competitions and has provided four assists for team-mates.
Felipe Anderson sets himself challenge
Speaking to Globo Esporte, as translated by Sport Witness, Anderson said: “I have always liked to create and make the last pass, but I have played in a more offensive part at West Ham. I am free to come to the middle to seek the game, to participate in the creation, I believe that being able to play in the middle or on the wing can help me.
“I want to score more goals, but the important thing is always my work for the team.”
