Official Statement Confirms Club-Record Agreement as Newcastle United Watch On
Sky Sports said the £116 million move makes Elliot Anderson the most expensive British player in history.
- On Thursday, Manchester City confirmed an agreement with Nottingham Forest to sign midfielder Elliot Anderson for £116 million, with the 23-year-old set to join the Premier League champions following the FIFA World Cup.
- Newcastle previously sold Anderson to Forest for £35 million in June 2023 to comply with PSR regulations, a move manager Eddie Howe called 'painful' given the player's quality and development.
- This transfer makes Anderson the most expensive British player in history, surpassing the £115 million fee for Jude Bellingham, and he has completed a medical in Kansas while competing at the FIFA World Cup with England.
- England manager Thomas Tuchel expressed confidence in Anderson, stating "he's the full package," and formalities will be finalized upon the midfielder's return to England after the tournament.
- This acquisition bolsters Manchester City's midfield options ahead of the new season, as the club's respectful approach toward England helped secure the deal without disrupting Anderson's international focus.
