Manchester City and Nottingham Forest reach official agreement for Elliot Anderson | OneFootball

Manchester City have announced that they have reached an agreement with Nottingham Forest for the transfer of Elliot Anderson.

Man City’s new manager Enzo Maresca is building his squad at the Etihad Stadium club after succeeding Pep Guardiola.

Anderson is set to become the Sky Blues’ first summer signing of 2026 having already completed a medical in Kansas, United States, due to his engagement at the World Cup with England.

The 23-year-old is now the most expensive British player ever following his record-breaking £116 million move to Man City.

However, Anderson’s fee is behind the £125m Liverpool spent on Alexander Isak and their £116.5m outlay on Florian Wirtz last summer.

The England international was one of the best players in the Premier League last season, and Manchester United were one of those interested in signing him.

He has been impressing with the Three Lions at the World Cup, starting in all of their four games at the tournament so far.

Man City will hope Anderson can justify his fees and hit the ground running next season as they look to challenge for the Premier League title.

Maresca will also look to win the Champions League as City eye their second trophy in the elite European competition.

The former Chelsea boss will hope to add more quality players to his squad in the coming weeks.

They have been linked with several players so far and transfer deals are expected to speed up after the World Cup.
