Felipe Anderson
Felipe Anderson Pereira Gomez is 19 years old and plays for Santos FC. He is 5 ft 10 and is and is a attacking midfielder who will float on either the left or right wings.
Felipe's footballing life began at the young age of 6 where he had numerous high level performances at his different clubs, however his performances at Coritiba FC got him noticed by Brazilian giants Santos. Injuries and poor form in the first team in 2010 lead to Felipe being offered a professional contract after playing in the youth squad all his career, and made his debut in a 3-0 win against Fluminense. He has been playing ever since and with first team players such as Brazilian international Ganso and Elano leaving Santos, Felipe has grasped his first team opportunity with both hands and has been playing with some serious form giving him a market value of 6 million Euros, which is high considering he has only been playing professional for 3 years.
Felipe is a great player going forward who is great at seeing passes and unleashing players on one on one's. He is agile and skillful. Felipe usually puts himself forward when there is a set piece and can usually deliver a deadly accurate free kick. He does not always shoot and usually prefers to take the ball to the keeper and deliver a last second pass to a teammate however this youngster has a long shot Steven Gerrard would be proud of!
Like many young Santos players, Felipe has had offers from clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur, however, he has decided to stay in Brasil and keep improving until he feels he can make the next step in his career.
