Report: Liverpool send scout to watch Lazio star Felipe Anderson

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Lazio midfielder Felipe Anderson this summer, having sent a scout to watch him during Monday night's Serie A clash against Fiorentina.

The Brazilian played the entire 90 minutes of the Biancocelesti's impressive 4-0 win, with Reds chief Paul Goldrick said to be watching on from the stands.

It is suggested by The Mirror that Brendan Rodgers is keen to bolster his midfield options at the end of the season, and 21-year-old Anderson is seen as the ideal man to come in.

Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City have each previously been linked with the £20m-rated Lazio youngster, who has netted seven goals in 23 matches this season and provided a further eight assists.
