Djavan Anderson: Oxford United sign Dutch defender from Lazio
- Published
Djavan Anderson played nine games across four years for Lazio
Oxford United have signed Dutch defender Djavan Anderson on a one-year deal from Italian club Lazio.
The wing-back began his career at Ajax and moved to Lazio in 2018.
The 27-year-old made nine appearances for the Rome-based club, and had two loan spells in Italy and one back home in the Netherlands.
His contract with the U's has the option of a further year, but the whole deal is subject to a work permit being granted.
Anderson was an unused substitute in Lazio's 1-1 draw in Serie A with Sampdoria on Wednesday.
"It's an exciting signing- I can't imagine Oxford have signed too many players who were on the bench for Lazio the night before," Oxford manager Karl Robinson
"He is very fast, he covers us as a wing-back, in midfield or as a winger which gives us flexibility and we look forward to working with him".
