Manchester City have completed the signing of England midfielder Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest. Multiple outlets report the fee as £116 million (around $155 million), making the transfer one of the most expensive in the Premier League and City’s record signing fee, surpassing the £100 million they paid for Jack Grealish in 2021. Anderson is reported to be 23 years old and signs a five-year contract with the club. BBC and Yahoo Sports describe him as an England international who is expected to develop into a more complete midfielder at City, while the Manchester Evening News includes Anderson’s comments after completing the move. BBC Sports characterizes the deal as the latest step in Anderson’s pathway to becoming a prominent player for England, including his involvement with England’s World Cup squad. The reporting is consistent that City confirm the arrival and contract length, and that the fee and record-status elements are central points of the transfer. City’s new signing takes place ahead of the 2024/25 season under expectations of expanded midfield roles.
