Transfer rumour roundup: Forest slap £120m tag on Elliot Anderson; Enzo ready to request Chelsea exit

Transfer rumour roundup: Forest slap £120m tag on Elliot Anderson; Enzo ready to request Chelsea exit Thursday's transfer rumours include Elliot Anderson's massive price tag, Barcelona 's stance on Chelsea -target Fermin Lopez, and Arsenal 's interest in a double defensive deal. Nottingham Forest face a fight to hold onto Elliot Anderson this summer, with the midfielder perhaps the most coveted player in the Premier League . Forest 'expect' Anderson to sign for one of the Manchester clubs if he leaves in the summer, but will demand a record-breaking return.

Sky Sports say Forest will push for a fee close to £120m, a sum which would make Anderson the most expensive English footballer of all time. Despite seeing Barcelona block a previous move for Fermin Lopez , Chelsea remain eager to get a deal done. The West Londoners are reportedly prepared to pay €100m (£87m) for Fermin, but Barcelona won't budge.

Even amid the club's economic issues, El Nacional say the 22-year-old is considered 'untouchable' at the Camp Nou. Mikel Arteta wants to add yet more defenders to his sizeable collection. Caught Offside claim that Arsenal are interested in signing Spanish starlets Víctor Valdepeñas and Jacobo Ramon , of Real Madrid and Como respectively, to act as understudies to a defensive unit already bursting at the seams.

There's a transfer tug-of-war emerging for James Trafford . Tottenham Hotspur have entered the race for the goalkeeper, say TEAMtalk , and are prepared to battle Newcastle for the Manchester City shot-stopper. Unhappy warming the Etihad bench, Trafford's tempted to move on.
