Arsenal offered chance to sign Brazilian winger on loan

Arsenal have been handed the opportunity to sign Felipe Anderson on a season-long loan agreement from West Ham United.

The Gunners have already bolstered their attack with the free transfer signing of Willian, but manager Mikel Arteta is keen on adding another creative player.

The likes of Philippe Coutinho and Houssem Aouar have been linked in recent weeks, but Football Insider claims that the club have now been offered the chance to sign Anderson on loan.

The Brazil international had an impressive debut season with the Hammers where he bagged 10 goals and five assists, but failed to replicate the same last term with just one goal and two assists.

He is free to head for the exit door this summer and it remains to be seen whether the Gunners are prepared to pay the significant £5m loan fee set by David Moyes's side.

Anderson has also been associated with a return to the Serie A with former club Lazio, but the Italian outfit have yet to make a formal bid for his services.
