They have failed to fully settle in at their new stadium and there is a fractured relationship between the fans and the owners.<\/p>\n<p>However, the owners are pulling off some excellent signings this summer in a bid to cool the tension, and Anderson is far and away the best of the bunch.<\/p>\n<p>As well as the winger, The Hammers have added Issa Diop Toulouse, Jack Wilshere as a free transfer from Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund&#8217;s Andriy Yarmolenko. Add to that the lesser-degree signings of Ryan Fredericks and Fabianskiianksi, and it&#8217;s clear that West Ham are finally not messing around with their transfer business.<\/p>\n<h2>Where He&#8217;ll Fit In<\/h2>\n<p>Anderson&#8217;s signing is likely to push Michail Antonio down the pecking order after a fairly poor season last time out. It could also see West Ham change their formation, with a three-man attack looking most likely; Anderson and Arnautovic on the wings, with either Javier Hernandez or Andy Carroll deployed as the striker.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, Hernandez and Carroll could miss out completely, with Arnautovic playing in the middle and Yarmolenko coming into one of the winger positions.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"zZyS4LAqRpRSBocJoQ0AEw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/960778352\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'zZyS4LAqRpRSBocJoQ0AEw',sig:'HpK2WxPiN2vHwSedMHvZM5Pt2Up3GwihNc8zWFSywYM=',w:'594px',h:'395px',items:'960778352',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brazil and Lazio star Felipe Anderson has joined West Ham for a fee believed to be around \u00a335 million.
