Man City In Pole Position To Sign Anderson Amid Interest From Man Utd, Arsenal

Manchester City are in pole position to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson this summer; the England international, 23, has been interesting a number of Premier League clubs, including Man Utd and Arsenal; Yan Diomande and Eli Junior Kroupi are also among City’s targets

It remains to be seen whether a deal can be agreed before or after the World Cup, where Anderson is expected to play a prominent role for Thomas Tuchel and England.

Anderson’s contract at the City Ground runs until June 2029, and his value is expected to be considerable as he is part of a group of elite central midfielders set to be on the market in the next window, which includes Sandro Tonali, Adam Wharton, Carlos Baleba and potentially Aurelian Tchouameni.

City admire how Anderson has developed since joining Forest from Newcastle, and relations between the two clubs are thought to be excellent.

There may be changes in the City midfield this summer, with uncertainty around the futures of Mateo Kovacic and Nico Gonzalez, while it’s already been confirmed that Bernardo Silva will leave when his contract expires in June.
