Anderson Hernanes de Carvalho Andrade Lima (born 29 May 1985), commonly known as Hernanes is a Brazilian midfielder who currently plays for Lazio.

Hernanes can be used as a playmaker in the centre attacking midfield role. He is notable for his ambidexterity, as well as being neat and tidy in possession, with the ability to spray the ball out wide in order to stretch play. He is also an accurate and powerful striker of the ball.

Club career

Born in Recife, Hernanes is a product of the São Paulo academy and has played for them since 2001. He was loaned out to Santo André for the 2006 season. In 2008, as a São Paulo player, Hernanes won the Prêmio Craque do Brasileirão's best player award.

In January 2009, Hernanes was listed as the most promising football player in the world by the British newspaper, The Times.

Lazio

On 6 August 2010, São Paulo agreed to sell Hernanes to Lazio. Hernanes signed a five-year contract. Lazio also paid €11.1 million to São Paulo and third-parties owner Traffic Group. He scored on his debut, putting away a penalty in a practice match against Deportivo La Coruña, having previously been brought down in the box. He also assisted Sergio Floccari for Lazio's third goal. His first Serie A goal was also on a penalty, against Bologna in another 3-1 victory. On 3 December 2010 he scored the third goal in a 3-1 win over Internazionale with a free kick.
