West Ham midfielder Felipe Anderson took a while to get his bearings in the Premier League, but the Brazilian is now looking like an excellent signing.
The £36m summer purchase from Lazio has scored four goals in his last four games and has started to repay the club record fee the Hammers paid for him.
Fans on Twitter are excited by the performances that Anderson is putting in, as well as the potential that he possesses for the future:
This fella is a real class act, well pleased we persevered and signed him..?

It’s always a risk when you spend heavily on a player who hasn’t played in the Premier League, but the 25-year-old is certainly beginning to find his feet in England.
The 3-0 win over Newcastle at the weekend showed the difference between the two teams in terms of quality in the final third. You get what you pay for, and the Magpies boss Rafa Benitez was keen to point that out after the game.
Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini will now want to kick on and make it two wins from two against Cardiff City tomorrow night.
