Leicester City have been linked with a move for Lazio winger Felipe Anderson.

The 25-year-old was already a rumoured £35m target of West Ham, but now the Foxes and Premier League rivals Southampton are also keen, according to Tuttosport.

Anderson scored eight goals and added 10 assists in 32 games for the Serie A side last season.

They may well be willing to sell after missing out on a Champions League place for next term after finishing fifth.

Anderson was a £5.4m signing from Santos in 2013. He has won one cap for Brazil, but is not in their World Cup squad for this summer’s tournament in Russia.

He was once seen as one of the brightest prospects in the game and was previously linked with Manchester United.

Anderson, who can also play in the number 10 role, impressed in the second half of last season after being ruled out until November due to a hip injury.

Leicester could well be on the lookout for a winger this season, should Riyad Mahrez complete his move to Manchester City.
