Anderson closes in on record Man City move

SPORTS 02.07.2026

England midfielder Elliot Anderson will move to Manchester City from Nottingham Forest following his return from the World Cup after the two Premier League clubs agreed a deal that could make him the most expensive British player in history.

Text size:

The 23-year-old, currently preparing for a last-16 tie with Mexico, completed his medical in Kansas City –- where England are based –- and will formally make the switch when the national side are no longer involved in the tournament.

"Manchester City and Nottingham Forest have reached an agreement for the transfer of Elliot Anderson," said a City statement issued Thursday. "The formalities of the move will be finalised upon his return to England.

"In the meantime, everyone at Manchester City wishes Elliot and the England squad the very best of luck in their World Cup campaign and we look forward to welcoming him to Manchester in due course."

According to UK media reports, Anderson's move is worth £116 million ($155 million).

That would eclipse the £105 million Arsenal paid for England team-mate Declan Rice three years ago.
