Anderson arrived from Newcastle in 2024, and he's become one of the biggest midfielders in the league. 

Pep Guardiola has been keeping an eye on the English midfielder, and he has been impressed with his progress and strength. 

Anderson earned his first call-up for England in August, and Thomas Tuchel has given the midfielder three more caps for the national team.

The 22-year-old is likely to get a spot in England's World Cup squad next summer, but Anderson could be facing some uncertainty over where he'll end up for the next season.
