West Ham United record signing Felipe Anderson reveals that he spoke with fellow Brazilian Neymar about moving to the London Stadium this summer.

West Ham United record signing Felipe Anderson has revealed that he spoke with Paris Saint-Germain talisman and fellow Brazil international Neymar about moving to the London Stadium.

The Hammers have made a number of high-profile additions in the transfer market this summer, with the Selecao star arguably the standout signing in a deal worth up to £47m.

Neymar is less than a year older than Anderson but was making his 100th appearance for Santos when the latter made his debut, soon nicknaming him 'little brother' and the pair have been close since.

"Yes [I have spoken with Neymar about West Ham], we are always joking," Anderson told ESPN. "I wished him well for his second season and hope it goes as well as he hopes.

"We talk, we mess around, but he is always wishing me good things so that one day I can show everything he hopes for and that he knows I am capable of doing.

"He always spoke about aiming for the top. He always said I have qualities which could make the difference, so he is always saying nice things."

West Ham are in Premier League action this Saturday away at Arsenal.
