Felipe Anderson: Neymar asks about West Ham

Felipe Anderson has revealed PSG star Neymar is now a West Ham fan.

Neymar is less than a year older than Anderson but was making his 100th appearance for Santos when the latter made his debut, soon nicknamed him 'little brother' and the pair have been close since.

"Yes [I have spoken with Neymar about West Ham], we are always joking," he told ESPN. "I wished him well for second season and hope it goes as well as he hopes.

"We talk, we mess around, but he is always wishing me good things so that one day I can show everything he hopes for and that he knows I am capable of doing.

"He always spoke about aiming for the top. He always said I have qualities which could make the difference, so he is always saying nice things."
