Here’s the latest update from the ongoing FIFA World Cup as of 2026-07-23 18:50:00.
Elliot Anderson Signs with Manchester City
Manchester City has officially signed Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest, the club has announced. Anderson, a promising talent, will join the Etihad Stadium on a five-year contract running until 2031 for a transfer fee of £116 million ($154 million).
This transfer marked a record for a British player at the time of the agreement in June but was later eclipsed by Morgan Rogers’ £117 million ($156 million) move from Aston Villa to Chelsea.
Anderson’s Excitement about the Move
In his first statements as a City player, Anderson expressed eagerness about joining a club built to win trophies and compete at the highest levels. “It’s exciting for any footballer. I am so happy to have been given this opportunity, and I am determined to repay the faith City have shown in me,” he stated.
Negotiations with Nottingham Forest concluded during the FIFA World Cup 2026, with Anderson undergoing a medical at England’s training base in Kansas City.
Despite interest from Manchester United, the 23-year-old was clear that joining City was an easy choice once he learned of their interest. “City are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the squad they have is amazing and so strong in every position,” he said.
Anderson emphasized his desire to be part of a winning culture, noting, “I think they’re winners, they’re relentless, and that’s the sort of team I want to be a part of. Champions and people who win trophies. Over the last 10, 12 years, they’ve dominated, so that’s why I wanted to join.”
