Southampton FC v West Ham United - Premier League

Goals Scored - 8

West Ham spilled the money at the start of the season to bring the Brazilian to the Upton Park. Felipe Anderson joined the Hammers from Lazio for a club record fee of £36m and as such, a lot was expected from him. And so far this season, he has been nothing short of a revelation for his team.

The Brazilian has already scored 8 goals in the Premier League so far and has also picked up 2 assists. He has registered 13 through balls so far - only David Luiz and Jorginho have attempted more in the league! The Brazilian has also completed 56 accurate long balls and has been the spark in the West Ham midfield so far.

He has mostly played through the left, where he has scored all his goals from and has started all games for his team in the Premier League. Felipe Anderson is the third best goalscoring midfielder in the league right now and quite a few clubs will be monitoring him right now.
