Aston Villa and Fulham eyeing up move for free transfer of Brazilian forward – PL duo seen as ‘toughest competition’

Felipe Anderson’s contract is set to expire at the end of the current campaign, and other teams, including Aston Villa and Fulham, are showing interest in signing him.

That’s what Calculomercato says.it, who state that the Premier League pair is presenting the other clubs interested in the Brazilian with the “toughest competition.”

It is clarified that Aston Villa and Fulham are keeping an eye on the forward’s circumstances while Lazio makes every effort to secure a contract renewal for him.

The winger, were he to choose a move to Villa Park or Craven Cottage, would certainly take little time to adapt to his new surroundings, knowing exactly what to expect from Premier League football from his time at West Ham.

They must understand, meanwhile, that Juventus is also investigating the matter because the Serie A powerhouses have recently had “multiple direct contact” with the player’s group.

Since Anderson is still a key component of Lazio’s plans under Maurizio Sarri, a lot will depend on where he sees himself in the near future. However, if Aston Villa or Fulham make a contract offer to the 30-year-old, it might be too good to refuse.
