Juventus Transfers: 10 Players Who Could Replace Arturo Vidal
6. Felipe Anderson (Lazio)
Felipe Anderson is vastly becoming one of Europe's hottest midfield talents and is possibly the most like-for-like replacement for Arturo Vidal. His versatility is key, he can play across all areas of the midfield and possesses a similar engine to the Chilean midfielder. He arrived at Lazio two years ago but flourished under Stefano Pioli who arrived at the beginning of the 2014/15 season. Anderson was a huge factor in the Biancocelesti finishing third last season and clinching a spot in the Champions League for the first time since 2007-08. The 22-year-old scored 11 goals and grabbed seven assists during the season and showcased a fantastic range of ability including pace, vision, workmanship and flair.
