Anderson made 177 appearance for the club, notching 34 goals and 39 assists before he joined West Ham for £36 million. 

The Hammers will reportedly receive just over £4m but have inserted a 50 per cent sell-on clause into the deal. 

Whilst the Brazilian enjoyed a fine first season in east London scoring 10 goals in 40 appearances his form swiftly deteriorated.

In the 19/20 season he only scored one goal in 28 games and the following campaign was sent to Porto on a year’s loan.

Anderson’s fortunes didn’t improve in Portugal as he barely featured before returning to West Ham for pre-season training.
