Attacking midfielder Felipe Anderson has been a live wire in the current Premier League season. The 25-year-old Brazilian has established himself as one of the main men for West Ham United.

Anderson has played all 26 matches thus far - scored 9 goals and also provided 3 assists. It can be safely said that the Hammers have finally found a replacement for Dimitri Payet in the talented youngster.

Roped in ahead of the start of the 2018-19 season for a club record reported transfer fee of £36 million, the technically gifted player has justified each penny of his high price tag.

With a knack of making runs, terrific pace, dribbling skills, work rate, and ability to both create and score himself - Anderson is one of the most well-rounded midfielders in the Premier League currently.

The Santa Maria-born player averages 44.58 passes per game and has also whipped in a total of 98 crosses. Anderson helps out at the back as well and is always ready to chase back and aid the defence. He has made 64 tackles and 30 interceptions. His hard work and vital contribution helped West Ham grab a point against Liverpool on 5th February.
