Brazil international Anderson is keen to earn a permanent move to Fiorentina.
The 25 year-old, who is loan from Manchester United, hopes to follow in the footsteps of fellow Brazilian Edmundo and become a legend in Florence.
“I have to play and have my chance,” he told The Sun. “It is better for me at Fiorentina.
“The manager wants me and has shown his trust. I can show him my football.
“Even though the contract is only on loan, I want to stay for a long time.
“Fiorentina are a great team with an ambitious project. I want to win in Florence like important players of the past like Edmundo and Batistuta.
“Everyone knows Fiorentina can progress a lot in Italy and in European competition.”
