West Ham up Anderson offer to €40million
According to 'Sky Sports', West Ham have increased their offer for Lazio's Brazilian starlet Felipe Anderson to 40m euros (£35m) plus add-ons.
Negotiations have been ongoing for weeks, with Lazio reportedly holding out for around €50million.
However, with the add-ons offered this time looking easily achievable, it is thought that president Claudio Lotito would be inclined to accept the offer.
The bonues on offer are appearance based, and the player would be a regular should he make the move to east London.
It would give a significant boost to West Ham fans, who have been teased by players such as Javier Pastore in recent weeks, only to see them sign elsewhere.
