Manchester City have agreed to a £116 million fee to sign midfielder Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest. The transfer is scheduled to be completed after England’s next match during the World Cup, following an intervention by manager Thomas Tuchel who requested that the player focus on his international commitments.
The Mirror reports that the deal was placed on hold so that Anderson could remain concentrated on the tournament's conclusion. This follows a season in which the midfielder performed well for both Nottingham Forest and the England national team.
While the move marks a significant acquisition, The Sun notes that the substantial fee brings high expectations for the player. Having established himself as an impactful figure during the current tournament, Anderson will be expected to adapt quickly to the demands of competing for titles at Manchester City.
