Manchester City Agree Record £130 Million Deal for Elliot Anderson
Manchester City have reached an agreement with Nottingham Forest to sign England midfielder Elliot Anderson for about £130 million, according to reports in Britain. If completed, the transfer would make him the most expensive player in English football history and break the previous record of £125 million, set when Alexander Isak moved from Newcastle to Liverpool last summer.
Anderson, described as one of England’s standout midfielders, joined Forest two years ago from Newcastle for £35 million. Since then, he has made 92 appearances for the club, scoring four goals and adding four assists. He also played a key role in helping Forest stay in the Premier League and reach the Europa League semi-finals.
The article also notes his growing status with the England national team. Anderson started in England’s 4-2 win over Croatia and in a 0-0 draw with Ghana at the World Cup. England are currently top of their group before facing Panama in the final round.
The report does not say when the transfer will be officially completed, but the deal has already been described as a record-setting move for the Premier League.
