Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City set to miss out on Felipe Anderson transfer as striker eyes Lazio stay

Rome Alone: Striker happy to stay at Lazio

Lazio striker Felipe Anderson wants to stay at the Serie A club despite being a target for Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City.

Standard Sport revealed earlier this week that Chelsea have been watching the 21-year-old forward, who has scored nine goals and created six assists in his last 11 League games.
But Anderson recently signed a contract extension until 2020 to stay at Lazio and is in no rush to leave.
The Brazil Under-21 international's agent, Stefano Castagna, confirmed they have become aware of interest from a number of leading sides.
But Castagna said: “The relationship between the club and player has always been good and we signed an important [contract] extension. There are definitely many clubs looking at him, but he is happy at Lazio.”
