Elliot Anderson Passes Medical, Set for Lucrative Manchester City Deal

England midfielder Elliot Anderson successfully completed his medical examination in Kansas City yesterday, having received clearance from Thomas Tuchel following the victory over Panama. As widely reported, Manchester City reached an agreement with Nottingham Forest for the transfer of the midfielder, a deal valued at £116 million, setting a new club record for the "Citizens." This makes Anderson the most expensive British footballer in history. Initial reports suggested his medical would take place on June 26th, but Tuchel had been reluctant to allow one of his key starters to be distracted before the final World Cup group stage match. This final detail has now been resolved.

According to reports from the UK, Anderson is set to sign a five-year contract with Manchester City, which will include an option to extend for an additional 12 months. His weekly wages at the Etihad Stadium are expected to be £300,000.

Elliot Anderson started in England's first three World Cup matches. Manchester United had also shown interest in him at one point, but the "Red Devils" withdrew their pursuit due to his high asking price. Nottingham Forest initially rejected City's first two offers, but all terms have now been finalized.
