Leicester City, West Ham and Southampton want Lazio midfielder Felipe Anderson

LAZIO ace Felipe Anderson has reportedly attracted interest from three Premier League clubs.

Southampton and Leicester City have now been linked to the 25-year-old after West Ham emerged as early favourites to sign him this summer.

According to , the Foxes and the Saints are ready to make an offer for Anderson.

West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini indicated his interest earlier this week as he looks to bolster his attacking options.

And with Manchester United showing interest in Marko Arnautovic, the new boss has had to look elsewhere.

Anderson had to settle for a reduced role with Lazio last season after returning from a long layoff in December.

But the Brazilian still racked up four goals and seven assists in 21 Serie A appearances.

The former Santos man also bagged three goals in seven Europa League matches before his side was beaten by RB Salzburg in the quarter finals.

Since signing for the Italian side in 2013 for £6.8m, he has scored 34 goals and made 42 assists.

Fred, who Lazio have reportedly valued at around £26million, is on the market after his side finished fifth in Serie A.

But Lazio will put up a fight for Anderson after president Claudio Lotito insisted his club is not a one-stop shop for cheap talent.

The Serie A side are also at risk of losing Sergej Milinkovic-Savic this summer, with Manchester United showing interest.
