Anderson “ready to show my level”

Felipe Anderson has absolutely no regrets over his West Ham move declaring himself “very happy here.”

Speaking to ESPN Brasil the £35 million Irons capture said: “It has been wonderful. It’s being better than I expected because I always believed it was going to be the best place to play football.

“Since I arrived, that’s been confirmed. I was very well welcomed by the new teammates, the manager and the whole club. I’m very happy here.

“Since I was a kid I knew that this [the Premier League] was the most important championship. Then when I started playing all the players said that it was the best, the most difficult, the most competitive. I wanted to come here to be among the best.

“I always followed the English championship a lot so when they told me about the possibility of coming here I did not think twice.”

“[Being the club record signing] shows that they have confidence in your football and your work. That gives you more confidence to work. Knowing that everyone trusts you and your talent is something that everyone likes. I hope to return that confidence to prove my work on the pitch.

“I arrived in Italy at the age of 20 and I spent five very good years there. I grew a lot as a person and as a player. I learned many things. I also went through a difficult time that helped me grow. Now I think I’m ready to show my level here.
