West Ham keen to sign Jordan Lukaku from Lazio alongside Anderson

West Ham remain locked in negotiations with Lazio for the services of Brazil winger Felipe Anderson but it seems they’re looking to also capture his team-mate.

The Daily Mail (13/06, 16:48) state the Hammers are considering a move for left-back Jordan Lukaku – the brother of Manchester United striker Romelu.

Manuel Pellegrini has already bolstered his defensive options on the right with the acquisition of Ryan Fredericks, who arrived on a free transfer from newly-promoted Fulham, and has now turned his attention to other areas of the defence.

West Ham already have Aaron Cresswell and Arthur Masuaku on the left-side but questions have emerged about the ability of the former, while Masuaku has often impressed in a more attacking role.

23-year-old Lukaku, capped seven times by Belgium, has not featured for the Red Devils since 2016 and, starting just ten games for Lazio last season, may eye a transfer in order to secure more regular first-team opportunities.
