Manchester City believe they have got their man as their midfield rebuild kicks off With Bernardo Silva set to leave Manchester City at the end of this season, signing one quality midfielder, possibly two, is a must for City this summer. Bernardo’s impending departure will leave a sizable hole in Manchester City’s midfield. There is no like-for-like replacement for the Manchester City captain.
However, City can find a midfielder or two to replace Bernardo Silva’s energy and work rate, and also add the technical ability to cover what will be lost when Bernardo Silva departs City. It isn’t uncommon knowledge that Nottingham Forest’s England international Elliot Anderson is City’s main midfield transfer target heading into this summer. The England international would bring immense quality in possession, energy to get up and down the the pitch, and overall quality to the Manchester City midfield.
A new report has come out that indicates that City believe they have won the race to sign Elliot Anderson this summer. If true, that is huge news for City ahead of an important summer for the club. Manchester City reportedly believe that they have won the race to sign Elliot Anderson.
Jeremy Cross has reported for The Mirror that Manchester City believe they have won the race to sign Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest this summer. Furthermore, Cross reports that Elliot Anderson has made it known that City is his preferred destination this summer. This news will come as a blow for Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham, who Cross reports also have an interest in signing the England international.
It is also reported by Jeremy Cross that Manchester City are keen to complete a deal to sign Elliot Anderson ahead of this summer’s World Cup. It is also reported by Cross that City are confident of completing a deal to sign Anderson for around £65 million. The latest Elliot Anderson update isn’t a major surprise but it is seemingly good news for City.
