June 25 (Reuters) – Manchester \u2060City have agreed a deal with \u2060Nottingham Forest to sign England midfielder \u200cElliot Anderson for a club-record \u00a3116 million ($153 million), the BBC reported on Thursday.<\/p>\n
It would make 23-year-old Anderson \u200bCity’s most expensive signing, eclipsing \u2060the \u00a3100 millionspent on \u2060winger Jack Grealish in 2021, while representing a \u2060record \u200csale for Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n
Anderson is part of England’s World Cup \u2060squad and has started both matches, a4-2 \u200bwin over \u200cCroatia and a goalless draw with \u2060Ghana. The \u200bGroup L leaders next face Panama in New Jersey on Saturday.<\/p>\n
A product of Newcastle \u2060United’s academy, Anderson joined Forest \u200bfor \u00a335 millionin 2024. He has since made 92 appearances for the Premier League club, \u2060scoring six goals and registering 11 assists.<\/p>\n
City, who finished runners-up to champions Arsenal last season, will begin a new era \u200bunder a different coach following \u2060Pep Guardiola’s departure after a highly successful \u200bdecade in charge.<\/p>\n
Reuters has \u200ccontacted City for comment.<\/p>\n
