Arsenal fans are in awe of West Ham forward Felipe Anderson, after the Brazilian earned the Man of the Match award against Southampton.
The 25-year-old sensation joined the Irons in the summer from Serie A outfit Lazio in a deal worth £36million, making the left-winger the east London side’s club-record purchase.
In contrast, the Gunners opted against strengthening their wings, and instead focused on finally improving the goalkeeper, centre-backs and defensive midfield options through Bernd Leno, Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Lucas Torreira.

Anderson caught the attention of Arsenal supporters on Thursday night, however, when the Brazilian bagged a brace at Southampton to overturn Nathan Redmond’s opener in a six-minute blitz on the Saints defence.
The 5 foot 9 Santa Maria native also dribbled past two Southampton defenders, completed 40 accurate passes and found the target with 80% of his efforts to earn WhoScored’s Man of the Match award with a 9.1 rating.
His goals ensured the Hammers left with all the points, and moved three clear of Marko Arnautovic as the club’s top goalscorer in the Premier League with eight.
Anderson also holds West Ham’s best average rating after 19 games, with a 7.37 average, leading to some Arsenal fans pleading on social media for their club to snatch the one-time Brazil international before it’s too late.
