Elliot Anderson Set for Record Move to Manchester City

Elliot Anderson, currently part of the England national team, is on the verge of a transfer from Nottingham Forest to Manchester City. The deal, reported to be worth £116 million, signifies a statement of intent from Manchester City under new management led by Enzo Maresca, following Pep Guardiola's departure at the end of the previous season.

Anderson, 23, is preparing for the last 16 tie against Mexico and will complete his medical with Manchester City once England's involvement in the World Cup concludes. The formal transfer agreement was reached between Nottingham Forest and Manchester City, with a statement issued on Thursday expressing best wishes to Anderson for his World Cup campaign.

This transfer fee is expected to surpass the previous British record of £130 million, which Liverpool paid Newcastle for Alexander Isak last year. Anderson has started four matches for England in the World Cup, with national team boss Thomas Tuchel praising him as a key player.
