Lazio sold the 28-year-old Brazilian to West Ham three years ago in the summer of 2018 for around €40 million, so re-signing him on a free transfer a few years later represents a strong piece of business.
Felipe Anderson had a tough season last campaign, only making five Liga NOS appearances for Porto whilst on loan.
