West Ham United fans have taken to Twitter to react to the latest reported transfer news concerning winger Felipe Anderson.
This comes after Hammers fan Twitter account @westham_gossip shared a post on their page relaying news originally published by Corriere Dello Sport via Calciomercato.
The news claims that Italian side Napoli want to sign Anderson this summer and would be prepared to offer Hirving Lozano in a straight swap for the Brazilian.
This post then gathered a number of replies from Hammers fans who were eager to have their say on this latest development.
Here’s a sample of West Ham fans responding to the post:

I say no, if you want him stump up the cash. Don’t swap him for another overpaid minimal effort foreign player who isn’t up to speed with the English game. Get the cash and invest in some young homegrown talent from the championship.

No swap deal…Sell him 100% ….And try and at least get back most of what we wasted on him ?

Lozano too light weight for prem

Should West Ham sell Felipe Anderson this summer?
Yes
No
The 26-year-old, who is currently valued at £28.8 million according to Transfermarkt, is currently West Ham’s third-best performer so far this campaign with a season rating of 7.07/10 (per WhoScored). Despite this impressive rating, Anderson has only managed to score one goal and provide five assists in 24 appearances for the London club so far this season (per Transfermarkt). Now that this rumour has surfaced of Napoli reportedly wanting to swap Lozano for Anderson this summer, this has sparked a big reaction on Twitter.
Lozano would massively flop in the prem, at least we know that Anderson can be decent.

He’s being offloaded cos he flopped in Italy.
I’m pretty sure if for some reason we actually wanted to do this deal, we could sell Anderson for significantly more than it would cost to buy Lozano.

What do we think?
It appears that these West Ham fans are not taken with the idea of swapping Anderson for Lozano. However, some fans think Anderson should still be sold.
