Knowing he can do that and what he does in training sessions, he's got a lot of attributes that are really good for the England squad and exactly what the manager wants.Quansah added: "He's a proper focused young lad and he'll go right to the top, I think."Meanwhile, former Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan also believes that Anderson is an excellent addition to his former club.Asked by ESPN whether he thought Anderson was the perfect addition to City's squad, Gundogan responded: "I think so."I think he has proven that, especially last season with Nottingham [Forest].
He had some outstanding performances, also against City.Anderson is poised to join City(Image: Getty)"I think he had quite an impressive development over the years, and I'm quite sure that he will make a great addition to the City squad."Asked whether Anderson was the big name signing City needed in the post-Guardiola era, Gundogan replied: "I wouldn't say he's the big name."I mean, obviously he is someone that everyone knows. But I don't think that they are signing him as a superstar, they are signing him as a team player."He's expensive, yes, but this is the Premier League.
This is where the best play, so it's quite normal now. So people pay it, and they have to pay it for a certain quality."I'm quite sure that the people in Manchester will be very happy, because when you watch him play, you feel like it's someone who sacrifices everything for the team, and that's what you want to have as a teammate."Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.TransfersLiverpool FC
