Manchester City has secured the signing of England midfielder Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest in a deal reportedly worth a British record £116 million. The transfer, announced Thursday, eclipses City's previous record of £100 million paid for Jack Grealish in 2021.

Anderson, 23, is currently participating in the FIFA World Cup with England. He has completed a medical in Kansas, and the transfer formalities will be finalized once he returns to England. This move marks a significant investment for Manchester City, who are embarking on a new era under former Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca following Pep Guardiola's departure.

Anderson joined Nottingham Forest for £35 million in 2024 and made 92 appearances, scoring six goals and providing 11 assists. He is recognized for his high-energy play, tactical awareness, defensive contributions, and ability to advance the ball. He joins a competitive City midfield that includes Rodri, Nico Gonzalez, Mateo Kovacic, Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Cherki, Matheus Nunes, and Phil Foden.

Anderson, 23, is currently competing at the FIFA World Cup with England and has completed a medical in Kansas. The formalities of the move will be finalised upon his return to England.
