Early and personal life

{{Expand section|date=April 2019}}

Born Santa Maria, Distrito Federal, Brazil, Felipe Anderson grew up the youngest of five siblings.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47240426|title=Felipe Anderson: West Ham midfielder on family, humble origins and his friend Neymar|date=21 February 2019|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=27 August 2019|first=Simon|last=Stone}} His upbringing was poor, with his parents occasionally struggling to buy food for the family due to their debts. As a child, he had to borrow football boots from his friends to play.

During his childhood, Anderson would play football on the streets until he was 11 years old, as children in Brazil could not join professional footballing academies until they were 13. Anderson credits the street football games for his technical skill on the ball.{{Cite web|url=https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2018/july/29-july/inspirational-story-behind-rise-felipe-anderson|title=The inspirational story behind the rise of Felipe Anderson | West Ham United F.C.|website=www.whufc.com}}

Club career

=Early career=

Felipe Anderson began his career in Associação 14 Companhia de Polícia Militar Independente (CPMIND), in his hometown of Santa Maria at 6 years old. In 2006, he was moved to Federal FC, and later to Sport Clube Recreativo Gaminha FC. After some impressive performances on the club, he was moved to Paraná to play for Astral EC, finishing the year. In 2007, he was moved to Coritiba youth side, and then in 2007 summer he was moved to Santos.[http://www.felipeanderson.com.br/ Felipe Anderson's official website] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201105152025/http://www.felipeanderson.com.br/ |date=2020-11-05 }}; FelipeAnderson.com.br {{in lang|pt}}

Felipe Anderson then played for Santos' youth categories, and was promoted to the senior squad following a rash of injuries in October 2010.{{cite web|publisher=Yahoo!

His first goal of his footballing career came on 11 February 2011, when Felipe came off the bench at half time to replace Keirrison against Noroeste, scoring from a long range shot in the 70th minute.{{cite web|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2011/02/12/brazil/paulista-a1/santos-futebol-clube-sao-paulo/esporte-clube-noroeste/1046381/|title=Santos 2–0 Noroeste|publisher=Soccerway|access-date=6 February 2017}} On 7 September, he scored his first league goal, against Avaí.[http://globoesporte.globo.com/jogo/brasileirao2011/07-09-2011/avai-santos.html FELIPE ANDERSON SAI DO BANCO E AJUDA O SANTOS A VIRAR JOGO SOBRE O AVAÍ (FELIPE ANDERSON LEAVES THE BENCH AND HELP SANTOS TO COMEBACK OVER AVAÍ)]; Globoesporte.com, 7 November 2011 {{in lang|pt}} In November, he signed a new contract with Santos, running until 2016.[http://placar.abril.com.br/brasileiro/santos/felipe-anderson/noticias/novo-menino-da-vila-felipe-anderson-chega-a-acordo-e-renova-com-o-santos.html Novo “Menino da Vila”, Felipe Anderson chega a acordo e renova com o Santos (New "Menino da Vila", Felipe Anderson reaches an agreement and renews with Santos)] {{Webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20121231184559/http://placar.abril.com.br/brasileiro/santos/felipe-anderson/noticias/novo-menino-da-vila-felipe-anderson-chega-a-acordo-e-renova-com-o-santos.html |date=2012-12-31 }}; Placar, 5 November 2011 {{in lang|pt}}

In his following season, Felipe Anderson had more chances in first team alongside Neymar, due to Ganso's injuries and Elano's poor form (both players left Santos in the middle of the season). On 9 February 2012, he scored his first goal of the season, against Botafogo-SP.[http://www.lancenet.com.br/santos/Neymar-Santos-vence-Botafogo_0_643135909.html Neymar faz três e comanda a goleada do Santos sobre Botafogo-SP (Neymar scores thrice and lead Santos'thrashing victory over Botafogo-SP)]; Lance!Net, 9 February 2012 {{in lang|pt}}

On the 31 January 2013, the agreed transfer to the Italian club Lazio for €7.5 million failed due to late arrival of a necessary international fax from Brazil to close the deal.[http://forzaitalianfootball.com/2013/01/felipe-anderson-andrea-poli-deals-fall-through/ Felipe Anderson & Andrea Poli Deals Fall Through]; forzaitalianfootball.com, 31 January 2013

"These third party owners changed their minds continually. When we had everything decided, they would start from scratch two hours later. It all happened for a full week, so it felt like being in the Twilight Zone."{{Cite web|url=https://www.fantamaster.it/news/lazio-pace-fatta-inzaghi-felipe-anderson-si-rivedra-al-fantacalcio/|title=Lazio, pace fatta tra Inzaghi-Felipe Anderson!

==2017–18 season==

During the 2017–18 season Felipe Anderson's form suffered numerous setbacks. A falling out with manager Simone Inzaghi after a 2–1 defeat to Genoa in February 2018 coupled with a knee injury that kept him out from August to December 2017 restricted Felipe Anderson to just nine Serie A starts for the season.{{Cite news |title=Felipe Anderson back on form at Lazio, but how long will it last?|url=http://www.espn.co.uk/football/italian-serie-a/12/blog/post/3400524/felipe-anderson-back-on-form-at-lazio-but-how-long-will-it-last|publisher=ESPN|date=28 February 2018|access-date=15 July 2018}}{{Cite news |title=Felipe Anderson injury concerns|url=https://www.football-italia.net/108811/felipe-anderson-injury-concerns|publisher=Football Italia|date=26 August 2018|access-date=15 July 2018}} On 20 May 2018, Felipe Anderson scored in his final game for Lazio in a 3–2 defeat to Inter Milan in a game that saw the victors qualify for the Champions League over Lazio.{{cite news|title=Lazio vs. Internazionale 2–3|url=https://us.soccerway.com/matches/2018/05/20/italy/serie-a/ss-lazio-roma/fc-internazionale-milano/2539153/|access-date=15 July 2018|work=Soccerway}}

On 15 July 2018, Felipe Anderson signed for West Ham United for a reported transfer fee of £36 million. The fee surpassed the previous record paid by the club, set with the £22 million signing of Issa Diop earlier in the same transfer window.{{Cite news |title=Felipe Anderson: West Ham sign Lazio midfielder for club record fee|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44810938|first=Simon|last=Stone|publisher=BBC Sport|date=15 July 2018|access-date=16 July 2018}}

==2018–19 season==

Felipe Anderson made his first appearance for West Ham in a 3–1 pre-season friendly victory against Aston Villa on 25 July 2018, in which he combined with Arthur Masuaku to set up West Ham's second goal of the match, scored by Marko Arnautović.{{cite web|url=https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2018/july/25-july/antonio-and-arnautovic-net-hammers-claim-aston-villa-win|title=Antonio and Arnautovic net as Hammers claim Aston Villa win – West Ham United|website=www.whufc.com|access-date=30 September 2018}} He made his full debut on 12 August 2018 in a 4–0 defeat against Liverpool.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45073328|title=Salah, Mane & Sturridge on target as Liverpool beat West Ham 4–0|date=12 August 2018|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=13 August 2018}} On 29 September 2018, Felipe Anderson scored his first Premier League goal for West Ham with a back heeled finish in a 3–1 home win against Manchester United.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45610325|title=West Ham United 3–1 Manchester United: Mourinho's side record worst start since 1989–90|date=29 September 2018|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=30 September 2018}} Anderson scored nine league goals in his first season of English football, helping West Ham finish 10th in the Premier League.{{Cite web|url=http://www.westhamstats.info/westham.php?west=4&ham=2019&united=Premier_League_2018-19|title = Premier League 2018-19}}

==2019–20 season==

The 2019–20 season was a difficult one for Anderson as he found the back of the net just once in a 4–0 win over AFC Bournemouth on 1 January 2020. The departure of manager Manuel Pellegrini saw reduced minutes for the Brazilian as he battled inconsistent form. The goal against Bournemouth signalled changing fortunes, however, a troublesome back injury saw Anderson fall out of new manager David Moyes' plans.{{Cite web|last=Inkersole|first=Sam|date=2020-10-07|title=West Ham face a Felipe Anderson decision to fit in with future vision|url=https://www.football.london/west-ham-united-fc/players/west-ham-face-felipe-anderson-19062668|access-date=2020-10-14|website=Football.London}} Following the interruption of the 2019–20 Premier League season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Anderson only made three appearances out of a total of nine games following the restart to the season.

==Loan to Porto==

On 6 October 2020, Felipe Anderson joined Portuguese club Porto on a season-long loan.{{cite web|url=https://www.fcporto.pt/pt/noticias/20201006-pt-felipe-anderson-assina-pelo-campeao-nacional|title=Felipe Anderson assina pelo campeão nacional|trans-title=Felipe Anderson signs for the national champions|website=fcporto.pt|date=6 October 2020|access-date=6 October 2020|language=pt}} It was a widely anticipated move for the out-of-form Brazilian to gain much needed confidence and playing time. On arrival at the club, Anderson said he was "fulfilling a dream" to play in both the UEFA Champions League and Primeira Liga whilst also insisting that he will still attempt to regain a starting spot at West Ham the following season.{{Cite web|date=2020-10-07|title=Felipe Anderson 'fulfilling a dream' with Porto loan but wants West Ham return|url=https://talksport.com/football/770570/felipe-anderson-dream-west-ham-porto-return/|access-date=2020-10-14|website=talkSPORT|language=en-US}} He made his Porto debut on 17 October, replacing Luis Díaz in the 59th minute of a 2–2 draw at Sporting CP.{{Cite web|date=2020-10-18|title=Sporting-FC Porto, 2-2|url=https://maisfutebol.iol.pt/liga/classico/sporting-fc-porto-2-2-cronica|access-date=2020-10-18|website=maisfutebol|language=pt}}

Throughout the season, Anderson only made five Primeira Liga appearances - largely put down to a sour relationship with manager Sérgio Conceição. In October, he suggested Anderson "needs to work hard" and there were many indications Anderson was signed against the manager's wishes.{{Cite web|date=2020-10-27|title=Sérgio Conceição elogia Evanilson e Felipe Anderson, mas pede "humildade"|url=https://www.noticiasaominuto.com/desporto/1613995/sergio-conceicao-elogia-evanilson-e-felipe-anderson-mas-pede-humildade|access-date=2021-05-21|website=Notícias ao Minuto|language=pt}} At the end of the season, Anderson seemed to criticise the manager stating that he applied himself from the beginning but "wasn't given many opportunities to play."{{Cite web|date=2021-05-20|title=Felipe Anderson finally speaks out ahead of return to West Ham following nightmare Porto move|url=https://www.hammers.news/news/felipe-anderson-finally-speaks-out-ahead-of-return-to-west-ham-following-nightmare-porto-move/|access-date=2021-05-21|website=Hammers News|language=en-GB}}

He had played 73 games for West Ham scoring 12 goals.{{cite web|publisher=West Ham United|url=https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2021/july/16-july/felipe-anderson-departs-lazio|title=Felipe Anderson departs for Lazio|date=16 July 2021}}{{Cite news|title=Anderson rejoins Lazio from West Ham|language=en-GB|work=BBC Sport|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57865212|access-date=2021-07-16}} On 15 April 2024, he announced through his official Instagram account that he was not going to renew his contract with Lazio.

Style of play

File:Hertha BSC vs. West Ham United 20190731 (137).jpg

A quick, well-rounded, and technically gifted midfielder, with a slender, long-limbed physique, Felipe Anderson is considered a talented player. He is predominantly known for his pace, and is regarded as one of the fastest players in the modern game; although not imposing physically or in the air, he also possesses good ball control, quick feet, and excellent dribbling skills, which allow him to beat opponents in one on one situations. A tactically versatile player, he is capable of playing in several different positions due to his wide range of skills, high work-rate, and ability to both create and score goals: he has been used as a forward or as a central midfield playmaker, but has most frequently been deployed as either a winger or an attacking midfielder, due to his offensive movement and tendency to operate between the lines; he is capable of playing on either flank or through the centre of the pitch, due to his ability to cut into the middle and strike on goal, or move out to the wing to provide accurate crosses to teammates in the area. In addition to his speed, stamina, creativity and technical ability, he is known for his eye for goal, and is gifted with a powerful and accurate shot from distance with either foot, despite being naturally right-footed; he is also an accurate set-piece and penalty kick taker. He can also serve as an assist-man due to his creative ability, vision, dead-ball delivery, and eye for the final pass.{{cite web|url=http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Magic_Cup/05-09-2013/magic-campionato-serie-a-tutti-nuovi-stranieri-serie-a-anderson-yakovenko-201102296407.shtml|title=Tutti i nuovi stranieri della serie A: da Anderson a Yakovenko|publisher=La Gazzetta dello Sport|language=it|author1=Massimo Tanzillo|date=17 January 2014|access-date=6 February 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=ita/news/newsid=2227457.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150330004713/http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=ita/news/newsid=2227457.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=30 March 2015|title=UEFA.com's weekly wonderkid: Felipe Anderson|publisher=UEFA|author1=Paolo Menicucci|date=28 March 2015|access-date=22 May 2015}}{{cite web|url=http://www.calcioweb.eu/2013/07/i-nuovi-stranieri-della-serie-a-felipe-anderson/64556/|title=I nuovi stranieri della Serie A: Felipe Anderson|publisher=CalcioWeb.eu|language=it|author1=Vincenzo Currò|date=29 July 2013|access-date=5 February 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://www.mondosportivo.it/2013/08/20/fantacalcio-alla-scoperta-di-felipe-anderson/|title=Fantacalcio: alla scoperta di Felipe Anderson|publisher=mondosportivo.it|language=it|author1=Demetrio Bertuletti|date=20 August 2013|access-date=5 February 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://www.espnfc.us/blog/scouting-and-prospects/78/post/2233109/scouts-notebook-felipe-anderson|title=Scout's Notebook: Lazio's speedster Felipe Anderson has lit up Serie A|publisher=ESPN FC|author1=Nick Dorrington|date=9 January 2015|access-date=5 February 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://sport.ilmessaggero.it/sslazio/lazio_felipe_anderson_profilo/295304.shtml|title=Lazio, ecco chi è Felipe Anderson Il nuovo jolly biancoceleste|publisher=Il Messaggero|author1=Daniele Magliocchetti|language=it|date=22 June 2013|access-date=5 February 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/meet-neymars-former-partner-crime-whos-setting-serie-alight|title=Meet Neymar's former partner in crime who's setting Serie A alight|publisher=FourFourTwo|author1=Alasdair Mackenzie|date=8 January 2015|access-date=5 February 2017}}{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/mar/23/lazio-felipe-anderson-serie-a|title=Lazio's Felipe Anderson lights up surreal Sunday with his 'dance rock' style|work=The Guardian|first=Nicky|last=Bandini|date=23 March 2015|access-date=5 February 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://www.repubblica.it/sport/calcio/serie-a/lazio/2016/11/11/news/anderson_dubbi_malumori_hoedt_cataldi-151818772/|title=Lazio, i dubbi di Anderson: "Qui per sempre?
