Manchester City officially completed the signing of England midfielder Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest on Thursday for a reported 116 million pounds ($155 million).
Record-Breaking Transfer Fee
The club record fee for City eclipses the 100 million pounds ($139 million) it paid for Jack Grealish in 2021 and is among the biggest ever in the Premier League.
The 23-year-old Anderson has signed a five-year contract. “City are one of the biggest clubs in the world and the squad they have is amazing — so strong in every position. As soon as I knew they wanted me, I was absolutely determined to make this move happen,” Anderson said. “As a footballer, you want to test yourself at the highest level. Being at City means I have that opportunity.”
Anderson’s Career and Future
Anderson began his career at Newcastle and joined Forest in 2024 where he went on to break into the England squad. He was a key member of Thomas Tuchel’s England squad that won bronze at the World Cup.
“As soon as I arrive in Manchester after a break, I will be doing everything I can to establish myself in the City team,” he said. “It’s a club built to win trophies and compete at the very top of the game. That is exciting for any footballer.”
