Manchester City Sign Elliot Anderson for £116m

Manchester City have completed the £116 million signing of Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest on a five-year contract with an option for a further year, making him the club’s record signing. City describe him as a fit for a trophy-chasing era and as a potential long-term successor to Bernardo Silva, with officials praising his energy and midfield range. The deal followed interest from Manchester United, but United did not meet Forest’s valuation. Anderson arrives after starring for England at the World Cup and after Forest helped him reach European competition. The transfer places City ahead of the new era under manager Enzo Maresca. The fee briefly topped Britain’s transfer records before Morgan Rogers’ later move to Chelsea surpassed it.
