Manchester City have completed a £116 million transfer for midfielder Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest, marking one of the most high‑profile moves of the summer transfer window.
The fee reflects both Anderson’s standout performances last season and the club’s intent to reinforce its squad ahead of a demanding campaign.
Former City midfielder Ilkay Gün‑doğan praised Anderson’s development, noting the player’s consistency and impact against top opposition.
Gün‑doğan highlighted Anderson’s work ethic, describing him as a player who “sacrifices everything for the team,” qualities he believes will benefit the City dressing room.
While the size of the investment creates expectations, analysts suggest that matching even a portion of Gün‑doğan’s success would deem the signing a triumph.
Anderson’s immediate focus will shift to the upcoming World Cup, where he is expected to compete for a place in the England squad.
In a separate development, Barcelona are evaluating the sale of a player acquired just a year ago, aiming to generate a substantial profit.
