Man City EXPECT Liverpool move for sensational £100m star | OneFootball

Manchester City expect Liverpool to move for a £100m Premier League star. It could well be a battle for his signature between the two heavyweights.

Manchester City will look to sign Elliot Anderson in the summer transfer window. That’s according to the Daily Mail, who report that the midfielder is on the shopping list for a few clubs.

Anderson has rapidly developed into one of the most exciting midfielders in the Premier League after his move from Newcastle United to Nottingham Forest. It’s a sale Newcastle never wanted to make - they were forced into it with PSR concerns.

Having joined Forest for £35m, Anderson is now expected to move for around £100m. City are certainly interested but it appears they’re very aware that Liverpool will also make a move for the player.

They’re not alone in that, either. Manchester United have their eyes on Anderson and there’s a feeling among the trio of clubs that Anderson is simply too good to pass up.

Elliot Anderson's appeal

Anderson is a wonderfully versatile midfielder who wins tackles, offers composure on the ball and can move it forwards. Getting all of that in a homegrown player is magnificent and why clubs will be happy to pay a premium here.

Now, whether Liverpool can afford that premium is another matter. Their current run of form doesn’t exactly make it easy to sign players in battle like this, either.
