Felipe Anderson’s brother Julian has confirmed that a story suggesting the Hammer was in Rome to talk to Lazio to engineer a return is completely untrue!

Julian posted on Instagram ‘Is not true’ in response to the FI report adding ‘Always Iron’ and ‘COYI’

An earlier report by Football Insider suggested Hammer Felipe Anderson has flown to Italy to engineer a move back to Lazio.

The report seemed to be published in response to a photo published by the Brazilian midfielder on holiday in Rome with the famous Coliseum in the background.

Premier League players are on holiday at the moment enjoying their three weeks contracted break.

Players are due to report back for pre-season training on Monday 16th August giving the manager less than four weeks before the new Premier League season starts again on Saturday 12th September. Anderson spent five years in Italy when he moved to Lazio in 2013 from Brazilian club Santos.

The report claims Anderson’s representatives are holding preliminary discussions with Lazio chiefs over a potential move this summer but that speculation appears to be built largely on his holiday snap.

Earlier today a senior club insider confirmed Anderson is just on holiday.
