Tuchel Reveals When €150M Reinforcement Will Join Man City

England manager Thomas Tuchel believes Elliot Anderson's transfer to Manchester City, valued at approximately €150 million, will be finalized before the Three Lions' next World Cup match.

“I think there's a high probability the matter will be resolved before the Round of 16,” the German coach stated after the 2-0 victory over Panama.

He praised the 23-year-old: “It's very impressive how he trains, plays, and conducts himself. He's still young and relatively new to our national team, but he plays like he owns the place!” Tuchel commented, adding: “I think he's grown into the tournament after a difficult start against Croatia. He's getting better and better. It's good to have him with us.”

The coach also took the opportunity to refute reports suggesting Elliot Anderson was struggling with a muscle strain before the Panama game: “There are no concerns, he gave the green light, the medical department gave the green light, and he has no issues at the moment.”

The midfielder is under contract with Nottingham Forest, where he has played for the past two seasons, until 2029.
