West Ham boss Moyes likens Anderson to Arnautovic

West Ham boss David Moyes has likened Felipe Anderson to Marko Arnautovic.

Moyes managed to get Arnautovic firing during his first spell in charge of the club before he left in May 2018. He now wants the same from Anderson.

“If Felipe can be our Marko it would be great," said Moyes. “He's the type of player that we want at the moment.

“I am trying to get Felipe to be more ruthless and to make that final pass when he gets the opportunity. He has that in his locker.

“That's what we got at times from Marko. He would make those runs and he would get the finish. That's what we are looking for from Felipe.

“But he's been out for five weeks, since the Sheffield United game [West Ham lost 1-0 at Bramall Lane], and with the games coming up it's really important we get him in right condition and right frame of mind."
