Manchester City would be well on course to beat Manchester United and Arsenal in the race for Anderson.
According to Sky Sports, Man City are in pole position to sign Elliot Anderson this summer. Several big Premier League clubs want the Nottingham Forest midfielder.
Anderson will be the most expensive midfielder in the summer transfer window
Anderson (23) left Newcastle United for Nottingham in 2024 for €40 million, where he became an England international. The player is now attracting interest from several big clubs, including City, Manchester United and Arsenal.
However, according to Sky Sports, he is “destined” to join the Etihad Stadium. Anderson is still under contract with Nottingham until mid-2029.
« His value is expected to be substantial, as he is part of a group of high-profile midfielders hitting the market in the upcoming transfer windownotably Sandro Tonali, Adam Wharton, Carlos Baleba and perhaps Aurélien Tchouaméni »writes the British sports channel.
