"I was definitely up there with the fastest," admitted on-loan Anderson in the Wales on Sunday. "Not many would beat me in a sprint; Craig Bellamy was probably faster and Mark Gonzales.

"When I was 13 I could do the 100m in 12 seconds - I'm not sure what time I could do now, but I know I'm faster.

"And I've seen the massive pitch at the Liberty, which will suit my speed greatly - but I'd like to think there's more to my game than just pace.

"I've got every hope of making it at Liverpool. I'm still only 18 but to make the break- through at a club like Liverpool you need to be ready for that step up

"I've been playing reserve football and it's not a bad standard when you come up against international players.

"But Rafa and I both wanted this move to happen - the club wouldn't allow it last year, but when Swansea came in last month it was the right time.

"Rafa and Roberto have got the same ideas for football and that's why this move probably happened.

"They both want to get the ball on the floor and play it and it suits the players they have. They're very similar in that sense.

"I've certainly not given up on making it and that's why I want to do well at Swansea and give myself that chance."
