✅ Transfer confirmed, Elliot Anderson is now a Manchester City player | OneFootball

Manchester City have blown up the transfer market with the official signing of midfielder Elliot Anderson. The 23-year-old arrives from Nottingham Forest for an astronomical fee believed to be around £116 million (about €137 million). 

The club’s sporting directors wrapped up the deal in the middle of the World Cup, where Anderson has been one of the cornerstone players for the England national team.

The young talent thus becomes the first major pillar of Enzo Maresca’s new project, intended to lead the transition and renewal of a midfield that has seen the departure of some of the club’s recent legends.

Reports from the last Premier League season justify the massive financial outlay. The midfielder completed an impeccable campaign in which he led the league’s statistics for successful completed passes and duels won in midfield.

His imposing physical presence and ability to break lines were key in convincing the coaching staff to give the transfer the green light.

The club has confirmed that the player will join the Sky Blues once his involvement with the Three Lions at this summer’s World Cup comes to an end.
