I don't even remember the last time Anderson put in a half decent performance, I mean we'd have to go back to his first stint at lazio to find that.
Felipe since his return to Serie A with Lazio :
21/22 : P38 G6 A8
22/23 : P38 G9 A6
23/24 (so far) : P22 G2 A6
Compare with Zielinski as reference alhotugh they played different position :
21/22 : P35 G6 A5
22/23 : P37 G3 A9
23/24 : P19 G2 A2
And Yes Zielinski is totally great last year in Champions League with 4 Goals and 2 Assists under Spaletti. I also prefer him and would answer our needs for goal scoring player from midfield. But i dont know if we are interested or not. There also news other Serie A and PL club interested in Zielinski but he could prefer Inter.
But see above, Anderson looks like pretty consistent for Lazio with goal and assist. And some said he also work in defensive phase even played as a winger. And he also always healthy. Played 38 matches (full) in 2 season and now already played 22 matches.
So i guess when we have interest in him, it could be that he will play role for us that will have Serie A and Champions League to play next season. He is not what people like for big signing but he can be very useful. Age wise,he only have 1 year age (born 1993) difference with Zielinski and Calhanoglu (born in 1994)
