Paul Anderson (born July 23, 1988 in Leicester) is a footballer currently playing with Swansea City on loan from Liverpool. He plays primarily as a winger and can operate on either flank.

Anderson attended King Edward School in Melton Mowbray. As a schoolboy he was attached to West Bromwich Albion but they declined to offer him a professional contract believing he would never make the grade. After this setback Anderson then decided to join Hull City, the club his father Phil Anderson had played for. His performances for their academy team caught the eye of Liverpool who took him to Anfield on an extended trial.

In January 2006, after a series of scintillating displays for Liverpool reserves and under-18 teams, a permanent transfer was arranged. A swap deal saw Liverpool's John Welsh move to Hull, while Anderson went the other way. Subject to first team appearances for Liverpool, Hull City could also receive up to £1 million for Anderson, which is remarkable, given that Hull signed Anderson after he was rejected by West Bromwich Albion's youth set-up.

Anderson was a regular in the Liverpool U-18 team which won the 2006 FA Youth Cup. He earned his first call up to the senior team in April 2006 when he was a unused substitute in Liverpool's Champions League Round of 16 second leg against Benfica.

On 15 July 2006, Anderson made a memorable debut for the Liverpool first team in a pre-season friendly against Wrexham. Anderson scored an early goal in the fifth minute to set Liverpool on their way to a 2–0 victory. He met Riise's cross with an excellent volley which easily defeated Wrexham goalkeeper Michael Jones.

On 26 July 2006, Anderson extended his contract with Liverpool by 3 years meaning he will be at Anfield at least until 2010.

He has been capped by England at Under-19 level.

Since his move from Hull City to Liverpool, Anderson has put in some excellent performances for the reserves and had led some to hail him as the new Michael Owen. His performance in the Youth Cup final last year was outstanding and he lived up to the tag. Anderson can play up front but is usually preferred as a winger.

Rafael Benitez has said that Anderson is one of the youngsters who he expects to break into the senior squad soon.

On 7 July 2007, it was reported Anderson was set to join League One side Swansea City on a season-long loan, and on 16 July Swansea confirmed he had joined the club on a season-long loan. [1]
