England international Elliot Anderson is set to undergo a medical in New York today, following an agreement reached last night between Manchester City and Nottingham Forest for his transfer to the Etihad Stadium. The deal, valued at £116 million, makes the midfielder the most expensive British footballer in history. Concurrently, he also becomes Manchester City's most significant acquisition, surpassing the £100 million paid for Jack Grealish from Aston Villa in 2021.
The agreement between the two clubs does not include any add-ons, meaning the fee will not exceed the aforementioned £116 million. This ensures that the British transfer record, set by Liverpool last summer with the £125 million signing of Alexander Isak from Newcastle, will remain intact.
Elliot Anderson started in England's first two World Cup matches. Manchester United had also shown interest in him at one point, but the Red Devils withdrew due to his high price tag. Nottingham Forest initially rejected City's first two offers, but all details have now been finalized.
