Man City Agrees Club-Record £116m Deal for England Midfield Star
Manchester City have struck a £116 million agreement with Nottingham Forest to sign 23-year-old midfielder Elliot Anderson, fending off rival interest from Manchester United. Anderson will undergo his medical in the United States within 24 hours while on duty at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He has already earned a starting role in England’s opening fixtures under manager Thomas Tuchel. This fee surpasses City’s previous record, beating Jack Grealish’s £100 million move. Anderson impressed at the City Ground with over 2,000 open-play passes, leading ground duels won and tallying 306 possessions won last Premier League season. The blockbuster signing underlines City’s intent as they prepare for life after Pep Guardiola’s decade-long reign.
