West Ham’s Felipe Anderson joins Porto alongside Liverpool’s Marko Grujic
West Ham’s Felipe Anderson has joined Porto on a season-long loan.
The midfielder is yet to start a Premier League game for the Hammers this season.
Anderson joined West Ham for a reported £36million from Lazio in 2018 and he has scored 12 times in 73 appearances for the Hammers.
The Premier League club wrote on Twitter: “We can confirm that Felipe Anderson has joined Portuguese side FC Porto on a season-long loan. The club wishes Felipe all the best for his loan spell.”
Anderson’s only starts this season have come in the Carabao Cup.
Porto also signed Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic on another season-long loan on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old Serbia international has spent the last two seasons on loan at Hertha Berlin, making 54 appearances and scoring nine goals.
