West Ham record signing Felipe Anderson said his admiration for Carlos Tevez, Javier Mascherano and club legend Paolo Di Canio meant that he "didn't think twice" about joining the club.
Anderson midfielder progressed through the youth ranks of the prolific Santos academy before joining Lazio in 2013. The Brazilian had five successful campaigns in Serie A -- scoring 34 goals in 177 appearances -- but the 25-year-old admits that his long-term goal was always to play in the Premier League.
"It has been wonderful [since I arrived at West Ham]," Anderson told ESPN Brasil. "It's being better than I expected because I always believed it was going to be the best place to play football.
