Felipe Anderson’s loan move to FC Porto was looking very much on this evening!
The Brazilian looks all set to leave the London Stadium after suffering woeful form last season and this with Porto ready to offer a loan fee and pay all his £100,000 plus per week wages.
There were strong rumours doing the rounds today that the move had broken down with Porto having had second thoughts but our understanding is that the disappointing 27-yea-old will be joining the third-placed Primera Ligue club.
The Hammers are likely to add an option to0 buy onto the deal but had hoped that they would be able to find a club who would take the player for their valuation of £27 million.
We were told by a source closely involved in the negotiations that the rumours of a breakdown in talks were not true and that as thing stood, the player would be on his way to Portugal over forthcoming days.
