Anderson To Stay?

Not surprisingly Roberto Martinez has admitted that he wants Liverpool’s Paul Anderson to remain a Swansea player once his year long loan deal has expired at the end of the season.

Anderson nabbed yet another goal against Wycombe on Tuesday night to take his tally to 6 for the season and level with Jason Scotland at the top of the Swans’ scoring charts. Not bad for a youngster who hasn’t yet nailed down the starting place in the Swans line-up that it is easy to argue that he deserves.

And it is that kind of form that is leading Roberto Martinez to wish that he could be able to make the move for the player permanent when the current deal expires come the end of the season. Speaking in today’s Evening Post, Roberto said “It’s quite clear that someone like Paul Anderson would be a huge asset for us, and if we could afford him, we would like to keep him here full-time.

“We don’t know the situation. What we want is for Paul to keep scoring goals, keep enjoying his football and keep progressing.

“If you’d seen him on the day he joined us and you saw him now, you’d know he is a more mature player already.

“He has been a joy to work with and at the moment he is a joy to watch.

“His pace is outstanding and he seems to enjoy playing at home especially. He gets a lift out there.

“But saying all that, I still think he can improve. I still don’t think we’ve seen the best of him.

And that can only be good news for the Swans with Anderson set to feature again in the game at Bournemouth on Sunday.
