Elliot Anderson joins Manchester City from Nottingham Forest for £116 million

Midfielder Elliot Anderson completed a British‑record transfer from Nottingham Forest to Manchester City, with the deal reported at £116 million. After two seasons at the City Ground, Anderson praised Forest, saying it "will always have a special place in my heart," and highlighted his role in helping the club finish seventh in the Premier League and reach the Europa League semi‑finals. He posted league‑leading statistics for touches, duels and possession, and was a regular starter for England as the Three Lions secured a third‑place finish at the World Cup.

Former Manchester United captain Bryan Robson commented that United should have matched the fee, calling the price typical for elite players and expressing regret that the club missed the opportunity to sign Anderson.
