Report: England star wants to join Man City this summer Manchester City lead race for Elliot Anderson amid Premier League interest Manchester City have positioned themselves strongly in pursuit of Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson with growing confidence inside the club that a deal can be completed early in the summer window, according to the Mirror . City’s recruitment drive has been deliberate. Anderson has been identified as a priority target, with internal belief that they have “won the race to sign Elliot Anderson.
” That confidence is underpinned by strategic timing and a clear understanding of the player’s trajectory.

” In a market where competition includes Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham, that preference carries significant weight. The expectation is that Anderson will depart Nottingham Forest regardless of their league status. “The 23-year-old is expected to leave Forest, irrespective of whether the club avoids relegation or not.
” That clarity simplifies negotiations, though valuation remains a critical factor. Valuation reflects rapid development City are understood to be prepared to meet a £65 million price point. This represents a substantial rise from the £20 million Forest paid Newcastle in 2024, highlighting Anderson’s accelerated development.
