Manchester City's Anderson eager to repay record fee with silverware

I'm over the moon.

Anderson could debut for City in Sunday's Community Shield match against Premier League champions Arsenal. "It is a chance to win a trophy in your first week," Anderson told reporters. "I want to show everyone what I can do. I try not to focus on it too much, but I'm sure over the next season I can show people what I do best."

The lads have welcomed me really well and training went well.

Having completed his first training session under new manager Enzo Maresca, Anderson feels welcomed by his new teammates. He acknowledged the scrutiny that comes with his price tag but is focused on letting his performances speak for themselves. "I've got a bit of everything. I can defend well, I can attack, so I'll just try and give everything I've got to help the club," he said.

Anderson also noted Maresca's attention to detail in training and anticipates learning more about his role in the team. While he primarily sees himself as a box-to-box midfielder, he believes his versatility will be a key asset for Manchester City as they prepare for their Premier League campaign, which begins against Bournemouth on August 23.
