Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri says he'll be happy to welcome Felipe Anderson from West Ham.

The midfielder is on the brink of signing for his old club.

Sarri said: "If I hadn't believed in Felipe, I would have stood against his signing.

“When he was at Lazio, he played very well for 6-7 months and seemed destined to join Barcelona. He's lacked consistency, but we need to create the best situation for him.

“I don't understand why he's not been consistent during his career, I'll try to understand it when he arrives here."
