According to a report from Italian media outlet Corriere dello Sport, West Ham could be tempted to swap Felipe Anderson for Hirving Lozano this summer, and some Hammers fans have taken to Twitter in reaction to the speculation.

And Claret and Hugh claimed recently that he could be moved on by David Moyes at the end of the season.

Italian media outlet Corriere dello Sport then suggested that the Hammers could be open to swapping Anderson for Napoli ace Hirving Lozano.

But would the 24-year-old be an upgrade on the South American West Ham ace?

The 39-capped Mexico international has really struggled this season.

Lozano joined Napoli from PSV Eindhoven in the summer of 2019 for around €42 million (£36 million), according to Goal.

He has racked up just three goals and two assists in 25 outings for Napoli so far this season (Transfermarkt).

In 16 league games for the Serie A outfit, the Mexican has just two goals and one assist to his name. He has averaged just 1.3 shots, 0.8 dribbles and 0.8 key passes per game during those outings (Who Scored).

The 24-year-old proved what he is capable of during his time with PSV, however. He racked up 40 goals and 23 assists in 79 appearances for the Eredivisie outfit.

Lozano might find it hard to acclimatise to the frenetic pace of the Premier League, however.

And some West Ham fans really don’t want their club to sign the 24-year-old, especially at the expense of Anderson…
