West Ham have initiated talks with Lazio over Brazilian winger Felipe Anderson, and have reportedly submitted a formal £35m bid.
The Hammers are keen to get their business underway before this summer's World Cup, as new manager Manuel Pellegrini looks to instigate a complete overhaul of the playing squad at the London Stadium.
MailOnline Sport have now revealed that the Hammers have made a bid for the Brazilian, days after reports first linked the winger with a move to the Premier League.
Anderson is understood be keen on working under Pellegrini, and wants to get the move over the line as soon as possible.
