With Anderson earning <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JacobSteinberg\/status\/1313142244371836929\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a3115,000-a-week<\/a> at West Ham, his departure would give the club and Moyes a wage budget boost should they wish to make any late additions. Porto are looking to take the forward on loan.<\/p>\n<h3>Letting Such a Talented Option Go Is Risky<\/h3>\n<p>Allowing Anderson to leave could be a risk for Moyes and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/west-ham\/\" target=\"_self\">West Ham<\/a>. The talented Brazillian forward has fallen down the pecking order this season, however, he still has the ability to create and score goals, as he has shown in his three <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/?s=Carabao+Cup\" target=\"_self\">Carabao Cup<\/a> appearances this season. Should injuries begin to mount, being unable to call upon the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2020\/09\/05\/every-brazilian-to-play-for-chelsea-in-the-premier-league\/\" target=\"_self\">Brazil<\/a> international may fill David Moyes with regret.<\/p>\n<p>Felipe Anderson had an excellent first season with The Hammers after joining from Lazio. He scored <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.co.uk\/felipe-anderson\/leistungsdaten\/spieler\/159372\/plus\/0?saison=2018\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nine league goals<\/a> in that first campaign, however, he failed to show the same sort of form last season, scoring just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.co.uk\/felipe-anderson\/leistungsdaten\/spieler\/159372\/plus\/0?saison=2019\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">once<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Anderson is a player with undoubted talent, however, he has failed to progress as many had hoped. A loss of the talented player would be a blow for United, though, a new start could be best for all concerned.<\/p>\n<h3>A Mixed Start to the Season for West Ham<\/h3>\n<p>West Ham have had a mixed start to the new season. Two defeats in their opening two league games had fans rightly concerned. The next two league games have given the fans hope of a good season.
