According to a report from Claret and Hugh, West Ham United will be willing to sell Felipe Anderson for around £17 million in the summer.

That would represent a £17 million loss on the £34 million that the Hammers paid to sign the Brazilian in the summer of 2018 (The Times).
The 27-year-old made a fine start to life at the London Stadium.
He has really struggled over the past 12-18 months, however.
Anderson was sent out on loan to FC Porto in October. The South American’s struggles have continued in Portugal, however.
The 27-year-old has played just nine games for the Portuguese giants, racking up just one assist in the process (Transfermarkt).
Anderson’s fall from grace has been rather dramatic. It is a real shame that the player who thrilled the West Ham fans in the 2018/19 campaign is now almost a forgotten man at the London Stadium.
West Ham looking to sell Felipe Anderson
Claret and Hugh claims that David Moyes will try to sell the 27-year-old winger in the summer.
The Hammers insiders claims that the East London outfit are looking to sell Anderson for around £17 million.
If we’re being honest, that would be a decent price, in spite of the fact that we would make a huge loss on the winger.
Felipe Anderson clearly has the talent, but whether he has the commitment, drive, defensive responsibility and tenacity to play for a David Moyes team is debatable.
And West Ham selling the Brazilian for £17 million, whilst getting his mammoth wages off our books, would be a wise move this summer.
