Manchester City ready to make second offer for Elliot Anderson

According to a recent report from talkSPORT, Manchester City are keen to submit a second offer for Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, after his first attempt was rejected. The media specifies that the English player would favor a departure to the Mancunian club this summer.

Anderson established himself as a regular part of the Nottingham team last season. The England native scored four goals and provided five assists in 50 matches in all competitions for Forest last season.

The report describes Anderson as a reliable central midfielder in the Premier League: capable of winning the ball back with well-timed interventions, clearing danger when necessary and ensuring clean distribution of the ball. He also has a powerful long shot and good game vision to create opportunities for his partners.

Under contract with Nottingham Forest until the summer of 2029, Anderson would not be easy to recruit cheaply for Manchester City, but his profile – energy, availability and knowledge of the championship – would explain the persistence of the Citizens this summer. At 23, the player still has room for improvement and could, according to talkSPORT, bring depth and quality to the Mancunian midfield, or even claim a starting place if the operation is successful.

Nothing has been made official yet: the future of Elliot Anderson will depend on negotiations between the two clubs and the player's desire this summer.
