West Ham are in talks to sign Brazilian midfielder Felipe Anderson, 25, who is valued at £44m by Lazio.

West Ham are believed to be eyeing a move for ex-Manchester City striker Felipe Caicedo, 25 who now plays for Lokomotiv Moscow.

West Ham have been handed a boost in their pursuit of striking reinforcements with former Manchester City player Felipe Caicedo, 25, ready to quit Lokomotiv Moscow in January.

Manchester City are set to make a significant loss on striker Felipe Caicedo by selling him to Levante in the summer for £850,000. The Spanish side - who can sign the 22-year-old for a reduced fee as part of the loan deal agreed with City last summer - will then immediately put the player up for sale for £4m. City signed Caicedo for around £5m in February 2008.

Lokomotiv Moscow hope to sign Manchester City striker Felipe Caicedo, who is currently on loan at Spanish side Levante.
