    You keyframe anchor point and scale.

    Start with the first frame, then the last frame.

    Then start in de middle working your way In between by scrubbing the anchor point and scale value to move the frame while keeping the mouse in the middle of the screen.

    Much easier to do in AE which has motion tracking.

    True AE is probably the best way to clarify i'm trying to get the screen following my mouse that was in the recording around the page but it is almost impossible with keyframes

    Premiere Pro has no way to do this automatically.  You'd need to place a LOT of keyframes.

    You'll have to be more specific about what you're trying to achieve. Are you looking for some sort of OS accessibility setting that zooms your screen? Or are you looking for some sort of animation that creates a circle or something around your cursor that shows a zoomed in version of that area? Is this supposed to be real time or a keyframed animation?
