Felipe Anderson Pereira Gomes (born 15 April 1993), commonly known as Felipe Anderson is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Italian side Lazio as an attacking midfielder. Since his arrival at Lazio, he is nicknamed "O rato de Roma" (The mouse from Rome) due to a popular Brazilian tongue-twister.[1]

Club career

Early career

Felipe Anderson began his career in Associação 14 Companhia de Polícia Militar Independente (CPMIND), in his hometown of Santa Maria, Federal District at 6 years old. In 2006 he was moved to Federal FC, and later to Sport Clube Recreativo Gaminha FC. After some impressive performances on the club, he was moved to Paraná to play for Astral EC, finishing the year. In 2007 he was moved to Coritiba youth side, and then in 2007 summer he was moved to Santos.[2]

Santos

Felipe Anderson then played for Santos' youth categories, and was promoted to the senior squad following a rash of injuries in October 2010.[3] He began training with the senior side and signed a professional contract until July 2013.[4] He made his debut for Santos on 6 October 2010 as a 90th-minute substitute in a 3–0 win against Fluminense.[5]

His first goal of his footballing career was on 11 February 2011, when Felipe came off the bench at half time to replace Keirrison against Noroeste, scoring from a long shot in the 70th minute.[6] On 7 September, he scored his first league goal, against Avaí.[7] In November, he signed a new contract with Santos, running until 2016.[8]

In his following season, Felipe Anderson had more chances in first team, due to Ganso's injuries and Elano's poor form (both players left Santos in the middle of the season). On 9 February 2012, he scored his first goal of the season, against Botafogo-SP.[9]

On the 31 January 2013, the agreed transfer to the Italian club Lazio for €7.5 million failed due to late arrival of a necessary international fax from Brazil to close the deal.[10]

Lazio

On 25 June 2013, Lazio agreed a €7.8 million fee with Santos,[11] and Felipe Anderson signed a five-year deal worth €800,000 a year. Santos received 50% of the transfer sum and the third part owner Doyen Sports will get the rest.[12] Lazio's sporting director Igli Tare criticized the third part owner Doyen Sports for numerous times delaying the transfer, “It will remain in history as the most paradoxical and shocking negotiations I have ever been a part of,” said Tare. “These third party owners changed their minds continually. When we had everything decided, they would start from scratch two hours later. It all happened for a full week, so it felt like being in the Twilight Zone."

2014–15 season

In his second season at the club, Felipe Anderson achieved 10 goals and 9 assists in 27 games across all competitions by April 2015.[1] This included the concluding goal as Lazio defeated Varese 3–0 in the fourth round of the season's Coppa Italia,[13] and an assist in both legs of the tournament's semi-final against holders Napoli, the one in the second leg providing the winning goal by Senad Lulić.[14][15] He played the full 120 minutes of the final, a 1–2 loss to Juventus.

2015–16 season

Lazio sporting director Igli Tare confirmed that in August 2015, they had rejected a €50 million bid from Manchester United.[16] In the 2015-16 season, he continued his good form by scoring twice against Torino on 25 October, in an eventual 3-0 victory.

International career

Felipe Anderson was one of seven stand-by players named by coach Dunga for Brazil's squad at the 2015 Copa América in Chile.[17] He made his debut in a warm-up match against Mexico on 7 June of that year, playing the final seven minutes in place of Fred in a 2–0 victory at Allianz Parque in São Paulo.[18]

Style of play

A quick, hard-working, and technically gifted player, Felipe Anderson is predominantly known for his pace and is regarded as one of the fastest players in the modern game, he also possesses good ball control, and dribbling ability; he is also a versatile player, and is capable of playing as a forward, as a winger, and as an attacking midfielder. In addition to his technical skills, he is gifted with powerful striking ability from distance with either foot, and is an accurate set-piece and penalty kick taker. He can also serve as an assist-man due to his creative ability and eye for the final pass.[19]
