ExWHUemployee claimed yesterday that Arsenal Director of Football Edu loves West Ham winger Felipe Anderson and that the Gunners could make a move for the Brazilian this summer.

The 27-year-old joined the Hammers from Lazio in the summer of 2018 for around £42 million (Football.London).
Anderson has failed to live up to that mammoth fee since moving to the London Stadium, however, in spite of a decent debut campaign in England.

The former Lazio man really struggled, with just one goal and four assists to his name in 25 Premier League games for West Ham (Transfermarkt).
Football.London claimed last week that Hammers boss David Moyes is prepared to sell the Brazilian winger this summer for around £30 million.
And ExWHUemployee has gone one step further, claiming that Mikel Arteta managed Arsenal could attempt to sign the 27-year-old West Ham winger this summer:
Many Hammers fans have become agitated with Anderson this season. He is such a frustrating player because he possesses so much talent. But his work-rate, desire and fighting spirit is often severely lacking.
A move for Anderson from West Ham to the Emirates would be a really interesting one this summer. Would he succeed playing under a better, more tactically astute manager?
Or would his shortcomings be highlighted even further still?
And more to the point…do the Gunners actually need the Hammers winger?
