Man City agree club-record deal for Anderson, BBC reports June 25 : Manchester City have agreed a deal with Nottingham Forest to sign England midfielder Elliot Anderson for a club-record £116 million ($153 million), the BBC reported on Thursday. It would make 23-year-old Anderson City's most expensive signing, eclipsing the £100 million spent on winger Jack Grealish in 2021, while representing a record sale for Nottingham Forest. Anderson is part of England's World Cup squad and has started both matches, a 4-2 win over Croatia and a goalless draw with Ghana. The Group L leaders next face Panama in New Jersey on Saturday. A product of Newcastle United's academy, Anderson joined Forest for £35 million in 2024. He has since made 92 appearances for the Premier League club, scoring six goals and registering 11 assists. City, who finished runners-up to champions Arsenal last season, will begin a new era under a different coach following Pep Guardiola's departure after a highly successful decade in charge. Reuters has contacted City for comment. ($1 = 0.7582 pounds)
