Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City are interested in signing Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest in the summer transfer window.
Elliot Anderson has been outstanding in the Premier League, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for all three clubs.
However, Nottingham Forest will demand £100 million for his signature. According to Football Insider, Manchester City is leading the race for his signature. However, Chelsea and Manchester United are unlikely to give up on his pursuit. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to pay a premium for him. The 23-year-old has been outstanding in the Premier League, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. He could justify the investment in future. Chelsea and Manchester United have the finances to pay a premium for him, and they should look to get the deal done.
Chelsea have quality midfielders like Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo. Anderson will add more physicality and defensive cover to the team. He will allow the creative players to operate with more freedom and protect the defensive unit.
Manchester United and Manchester City need someone like Anderson
Similarly, Manchester United need a replacement for Casemiro and an upgrade on Manuel Ugarte. The 23-year-old Premier League midfielder could be the ideal acquisition for them. He could make an immediate impact. The opportunity to play for Chelsea or Manchester United will be hard to turn down for him as well.
As far as Manchester City are concerned, they need a long-term alternative to Rodri. They do not have a specialist defensive midfielder like the Spanish international, and signing the Nottingham Forest star would be ideal. They are among the wealthiest clubs in the world, and it is reasonable to assume they have the resources to get the deal done.
It will be interesting to see which of the three clubs is prepared to break the bank for him. Whoever ends up signing him could have a star on their hands.
