Anderson on Van Gerwen after signing new Unicorn deal: "Nobody is scared of him anymore"

Gary Anderson signed a new long-term deal with Unicorn Darts on Tuesday (26 January) and discussed the state of darts in the process.

Anderson spoke about Michael van Gerwen and admitted that the fear factor has gone with Mighty Mike having a barren 2020 by his own standards and losing the World Number One spot.

He also listed the likes of Peter Wright, Jose de Sousa, Nathan Aspinall, Joe Cullen and Devon Petersen as potential leading lights going forward.

“There isn’t just one dominating. We all know how good Michael van Gerwen is but nobody is scared of him anymore. Price is a deserved World Champion," said Anderson.

"Peter Wright will still be challenging. Jose de Sousa has already proved how good he is and I’m a big fan of Nathan Aspinall, while Joe Cullen and Devon Petersen are now in the mix.”
