“Nottingem Forest”in futbolçusu Elliot Anderson yayda klubunu dəyişə bilər.
Futbolpress.az xəbər verir ki, yarımmüdafiəçi “Mançester Siti” ilə danışıq aparır. Bu barədə “TEAMtalk” portalı məlumat yayıb. Anderson MS-də oynamağa müsbət yanaşır.
23 yaşlı futbolçu bu mövsüm Premyer Liqada 29 oyunda 2 qol vurub, 2 məhsuldar ötürmə edib.
Manchester City may reportedly already have agreed a transfer deal for Nottingham Forest midfielder and Manchester United target Elliot Anderson.
The England international has been in terrific form this season, and showed his quality once again this week as he scored a superb equaliser against Man City in a 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium.
This could be a glimpse of what City fans can expect next season as it now looks like everything is more or less in place for Anderson to join Pep Guardiola’s side.

That’s according to the latest claims being made by Graeme Bailey, who told TEAMtalk: “I have to be honest, for several weeks now, from numerous sources, I am told that Anderson to City is a done deal.
“City have been on Anderson for months, since last year. I am told Hugo Viana picked him out last summer as one he wanted.
“In football circles, the belief is that Anderson is only going to one place and that is City.
“Whilst City and Forest are not confirming anything, I think that whilst nothing is signed, Anderson knows where he will be playing next season and that will be the Etihad.”
The report adds that Forest want £90m for Anderson, so that could be the sort of fee City are set to pay for the 23-year-old.
Another report from talkSPORT also has an update on Anderson, even if they don’t go quite as far as saying his City move is a done deal.
Their claim is that Anderson looks to be leaning towards joining City over Man United, while we’ve also previously reported on City being the favourites for this deal.
It perhaps makes sense for MCFC to make Anderson an urgent priority as they look like they could do with a long-term replacement for Rodri, who has had injury problems in recent times, while he’ll also be turning 30 this summer.
Anderson looks very much like the next Rodri, and at the age of 23 he still has his best years ahead of him, making this an ideal signing.
United could also surely have done with Anderson coming in, though, as Casemiro will be leaving as a free agent this summer, and the club also need an upgrade on Manuel Ugarte, who has fallen out of favour after some underwhelming form during his time at Old Trafford.

Manchester City have reportedly joined Manchester United in monitoring Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson as the Premier League giants assess potential midfield reinforcements.
According to The Sun, City’s interest in the 23-year-old is closely linked to uncertainty surrounding Rodri’s long-term future at the Etihad Stadium.
While Anderson has quietly developed into one of the Premier League’s most promising young midfielders, City’s pursuit could depend heavily on whether Rodri remains central to the club’s plans.
Real Madrid are believed to be tracking the Spanish international’s situation, particularly with his contract set to run until the summer of 2027.
The young English midfielder has impressed some of the top clubs in the Premier League, including Man City, Manchester United and Liverpool.
Man City, particularly, know well of his abilities as the Forest midfielder scored a stunning goal for his team against City in the 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium last night.
The midfielder, who previously progressed through Newcastle United’s academy system, has impressed with his versatility, work rate, and technical ability in central areas.
Anderson offers a combination of energy and creativity that fits the demands of modern Premier League football.
For Man City, however, the potential pursuit of Anderson is intertwined with Rodri’s future.
The Spanish midfielder has been one of the most influential players in Pep Guardiola’s system, acting as the team’s primary anchor and orchestrator in possession.
Real Madrid’s reported interest in Rodri could play a huge role in City’s pursuit of Anderson.
Although Rodri remains under contract until 2027, speculation about his future naturally affects City’s long-term planning.
Should the club anticipate a departure in the coming seasons, identifying younger midfielders capable of evolving into key roles becomes a priority.
