Felipe Anderson - Heads to Lazio Anderson will join Lazio on a permanent deal away from Premier League side West Ham.

Impact Anderson kind of fell off the radar at Porto last season, getting just one start in league play and another in Champions League. He's still 28 years old and two seasons removed from a 20-start campaign for West Ham and then three years removed from a nine-goal and four-assist season. The hope for Lazio is that he can return to that prior form and find a significant role in the squad.

Ciro Immobile - Blanketed by England Immobile took one off-target shot, won one duel and had one clearance in Sunday's 4-3 win over England on PKs.

Impact Immobile was easily held in check for the fourth game in a row and Italy played better with a false-nine. He faded after a strong start scoring-wise, although he had an assist in the semi-final. He concluded with two goals, two helpers, 18 shots and five chances created in six games. He is poised for another strong campaign with Lazio under new coach Maurizio Sarri.

Ciro Immobile - Provides assist versus Spain Immobile took one off-target shot, created one scoring chance, drew one foul and picked up an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win on PKs over Spain.

Impact Immobile did not have a great game overall, but he found Federico Chiesa in stride on a secondary counter ahead of the first goal of the contest. His form has dipped after a solid group stage and he has not scored in the past three matches. He has logged two goals, two assists, three chances created and 17 shots in five Euro appearances. Italy will face either England or Denmark in the final Sunday.

Denis Vavro - Returns to Lazio Vavro is back at Lazio after the loan spell at Huesca.

Impact Vavro got decent playing time since joining in January, making 11 appearances (nine starts) and recording 20 clearances, 11 interceptions and seven tackles. New coach Maurizio Sarri will evaluate him in the next few weeks as Lazio have non-existent depth in the back and could use one more body.

Jony - Heads back to Lazio Jony is back in Rome following the loan spell at Osasuna.

Impact Jony had limited success in his La Liga return, as he provided two assists in 22 appearances (nine starts), adding 19 chances created and launching 83 crosses. New coach Maurizio Sarri will evaluate him during the pre-season as Lazio are set to change their scheme and could use a winger.

Ciro Immobile - Struggles in Belgium clash Immobile took three shots (zero on target), created one scoring chance, was dispossessed three times and had one clearance in Friday's 2-1 win over Belgium.

Impact Immobile did not have a good game in this one, as he missed the target on few good chances and often mishandled the ball or had poor reads. Andrea Belotti might challenge him for the starting job in Tuesday's semi-final against Spain. Immobile has scored twice, provided ad assist, taken 16 shots (three accurate) and created four chances in four Euro fixtures.

Ciro Immobile - Relatively silent against Austria Immobile took three shots (zero on target), had one block, created one scoring chance and was dispossessed three times in Saturday's 2-1 win over Austria.

Impact Immobile almost scored in the first half with a sudden piledriver from distance that rattled the woodwork, but that was the only highlight of this game. Andrea Belotti did not do significantly better in relief, therefore he should get another start Friday against either Belgium or Portugal. He has registered two goals, one assists, 13 shots and three chances created in three Euro appearances.

Francesco Acerbi - Provides assist against Austria Acerbi had four interceptions and five clearances, won seven duels and picked up an assist in Saturday's 2-1 win over over Austria.

Impact Acerbi filled in for Giorgio Chiellini in the back and had a pretty strong outing, although Italy gave up their first goal of the tournament in overtime. He had a key contribution on offense as well, as he teed up Matteo Pessina with a flick-on in the box. The starter could be back for the quarter-finals against either Belgium or Portugal. Acerbi has logged six interceptions, seven clearances and two tackles in three Euro appearances (one start).

Francesco Acerbi - Second half sub Acerbi created one chance in 45 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 win over Wales in Group A.

Impact Acerbi played for two-thirds of the second group stage game against Switzerland as well to compromise his appearances in the Euros so far. He's firmly entrenched as a backup center-back behind Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini and even Alessandro Bastoni, so Acerbi may not get many more chances to play unless others are unable to do so.

Ciro Immobile - Scores against Switzerland Immobile took four shots (one on target), drew one foul and scored a goal in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Switzerland.

Impact Immobile missed some easy chances from inside the box, but he successfully rounded out the score late with an effort from midrange. He is off to a good start with two consecutive goals. There is a chance coach Roberto Mancini will give a chance to Andrea Belotti in the final group match versus Wales Sunday since Italy clinched the qualification.

Ciro Immobile - Scores and assists versus Turkey Immobile took six shots (two on target), created two chances, scored a goal and picked up an assist in Friday's 3-0 win over Turkey.

Impact Immobile shined in the second half, tapping it home after the goalkeeper had denied the attempt by a teammate and teeing Lorenzo Insigne with a timely pass on the final goal of the contest. The strong performance will likely allow him to fend off the competition coming from Andrea Belotti. Italy will face an opponent of a similar caliber Wednesday as they will host Switzerland.

Ciro Immobile - Makes Euros Immobile was called up to Italy's roster for this summer's Euro tournament.

Impact Immobile scored 20 goals in 35 appearances this season, which is impressively 16 less than he scored in the 2019/2020 campaign. In one of the more notoriously defensive sides in Europe, Immobile is still worth keeping an eye on after starting and scoring with reasonable consistency in recent appearances for his country.
