Chelsea scouting Felipe Anderson?

Chelsea scouting Felipe Anderson?

Chelsea have reportedly added Lazio attacking midfielder Felipe Anderson to a list of potential transfer targets ahead of the summer window.

Anderson's fine form in Serie A this season is believed to have attracted interest from a number of clubs across Europe, and Manchester United scouts were reported to have watched the Brazilian score both goals in the 2-0 win over Hellas Verona at the weekend.

However, the Evening Standard claims that Chelsea have had representatives at two of Lazio's recent games in an attempt to take a closer look at the 21-year-old.

Despite the rumours, Anderson recently signed a new contract with the club to extend his deal to 2020, and Lazio are likely to demand close to £30m for his services.

The Brazil Under-21 international joined Lazio from Santos in the summer of 2013.
