Lazio and West Ham United are continuing to hold Felipe Anderson talks and, with both parties wanting to reach an agreement, the Italian side are already thinking of replacements.

The Hammers have been chasing Anderson and have submitted several bids to take the Brazilian attacking midfielder to the London Stadium.




No agreement has been reached yet, but according to Italian daily La Repubblica, talks between the clubs are continuing with a distance of around €5m between the pair.

But with Lazio and West Ham both intending to reach an agreement, the odds remain in favour of Anderson heading to the Premier League.
 


The Serie A side have also started to eye replacements for Anderson.

Anderson made 32 appearances for Lazio over the course of last season, scoring eight goals and providing ten assists for his team-mates.


He has 177 appearances in total for the Serie A giants to his name, with 34 goals and 42 assists.

Anderson's contract with Lazio runs until 2020 and a possible extension had been mooted before West Ham's approach.
