Anderson Silva de França or simply Anderson Silva (born August 28, 1982 in São Paulo) is a Brazilian football (soccer) player currently on a short term deal with Everton.
Anderson started his professional career in Chile with Santiago Wanderers. His performances earned him a move to Spain's La Liga with Racing Santander. He was then signed by Everton FC at the beginning of the 2005/06 season, bringing an end to a successful period at Racing.
However, after not being granted a work permit, the Brazilian midfielder was loaned to Málaga CF for 6 months initially which was later extended until the end of 2005/06 season, due to again, his failure to secure a work permit. Everton decided to work round this problem, by waiting until he was eligible for a Spanish Passport, and due to EU regulations, this made him eligible to work in Britain. He has now been granted a Spanish passport, and therefore is eligible to play football in England.
On December 11, Everton announced at their Annual General Meeting that there was a possibility that Anderson could join the club anytime within the next few weeks, now that the passport problems have been solved.
On December 19, 2006, Everton confimed that Anderson had agreed terms on a "short term deal" after overcoming immigration issues. He is expected to train with Everton over the next few weeks and try to impress manager David Moyes.
