Felipe Anderson has been linked with a host of Premier League sides

The Brazilian is currently attracting interest from a host of Premier League clubs, notably the Hammers, Southampton and Leicester.

But Lazio are set to play hardball over the winger due to the financial implications of the club failing to qualify for the Champions League.

For this reason, Anderson is currently being valued at €50m (£43m), and the Serie A outfit are refusing to budge on the price.

This means West Ham's opening offer of €38m (£33m) has been rejected, according to Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.
