Elliot Anderson sent Man City transfer warning as Nottingham Forest star targeted | OneFootball

Elliot Anderson has been urged to heed Kalvin Phillips’ example as Manchester City continue their pursuit of the Nottingham Forest midfielder. City have had two bids rejected and are expected to return with a third offer, with the Reds are said to value him at around £130 million after turning down £121m from the FA Cup winners. Anderson has shone in two seasons since a £35m move from Newcastle United.

“I can see why Anderson would go to Manchester City. The only other side of it is how things went for Kalvin Phillips when he went to Manchester City.” He was speaking to Andy’s Bet Club.

Anderson is currently with England at the World Cup. He helped Thomas Tuchel’s side open with a 4-2 win over Croatia, setting up Jude Bellingham for the third, and the 23-year-old is likely to be involved against Ghana this evening at the Boston Stadium, 9pm BST.

“But it never happened for him.” “I’m not saying that’s going to happen to Anderson, because he looks the part, but I always remember watching other players who did that role, and Kalvin Phillips is an example.”

“That said, I think Anderson has a lot about him. He’s got a presence on the pitch, a great engine, and is very economical with his pass completion. He reminds me a lot of Declan Rice.”
