I guess there isn’t much competition between Liverpool – five times European Champions and Swansea City – Welsh Cup winners on more occasions but Paul Anderson says he would not discount a move to South Wales if it didn’t work out for him at Anfield.<\/p>\n
Anderson has been a total hit at the Liberty this season after joining on loan from the Reds in a season long goal. Half a dozen goals have seen him joint top of the goalscoring charts along side Jason Scotland and that has come from a man unable to hold down a regular starting place in the Swans side – well not yet anyway.<\/p>\n
Only earlier in the week his current manager Roberto Martinez – a friend of Rafa Benitez said how much he would like to keep Anderson when the deal runs out at the end of the season. A point that wasn’t lost on Anderson himself. “I went into Melwood (Liverpool’s training ground) and a couple of the boys were giving me some stick because the story was on Sky Sports News,” says the 19-year-old in tonight’s Evening Post.<\/p>\n
“But it’s really nice to hear that from the club. It’s nice to know you are wanted.<\/p>\n
“It’s not really something to think about until the end of the season,” he adds, “but I would like to think Liverpool will still want me.<\/p>\n
“I’m hoping that I can go and make it at that level because everyone wants to play as high up as they can.”<\/p>\n
“If it all fails at Liverpool, then Swansea are a great team. If it came to it and there were a couple of clubs who were interested, I would probably pick Swansea over anyone else.<\/p>\n
“When I was younger I was a right-back so I was never a goalscorer then<\/p>\n
“It was only when I was 15, when there was no-one else to go there and I got shoved forward, that I started playing on the wing.<\/p>\n
“I got a few goals then, normally between five and 10 a season, but I’ve never had six by the middle of October before.<\/p>\n
“My aim at the start of the season was to reach double figures for Swansea, but looking at it now it would be good if I could push myself on to 15.<\/p>\n
“From what I’ve seen we’ve got the five best wingers in the league<\/p>\n
“If you have one bad game, that could be you out of the side for a month.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
