Manchester City appears to be the frontrunner to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, with the player himself reportedly favoring a move to the Citizens over their city rivals, Manchester United.
According to BBC reports, Manchester City is leading the race for the 23-year-old midfielder. United, on the other hand, is reportedly unwilling to enter a bidding war or prolonged negotiations, which gives the Etihad club a significant advantage.
However, the primary hurdle to a deal remains a substantial discrepancy in the player's valuation between Manchester City and Nottingham Forest. The transfer fee could potentially set a new record for a British footballer, surpassing the £105 million Arsenal paid West Ham for Declan Rice. Anderson's performance at the upcoming World Cup is also expected to influence the negotiating positions of the clubs.
Last season, Elliot Anderson made 38 appearances in the Premier League, scoring 4 goals.
