Real Madrid have identified Felipe Anderson as a possible target this summer, according to Sky Sports News.
Zinedine Zidane wants Chelsea star Eden Hazard at the Bernabeu next season but he has a back-up plan in mind.
If Chelsea dig their heels in – as they may do because of their transfer ban – Real Madrid will turn their attention to Anderson.
The 25-year-old has been a key player for West Ham since his club-record move from Lazio last summer, scoring nine goals for the Hammers.
And the Brazilian winger has earned himself a recall to the national squad thanks to his impressive form in claret and blue.
This has alerted Real Madrid, who might take a punt on Anderson should their Hazard plan fail to materialise.
The La Liga giants believe they can lure Anderson to Spain with a £65m raid on West Ham in the summer.
West Ham fans took to Twitter to have their say on these rumours. Here are some things Hammers supporters are sharing on social media about Anderson’s possible exit.
