All you need to know about Man City’s Elliot Anderson chase…
City’s top target remains Elliot Anderson despite the Blues having had two bids rejected by Nottingham Forest for the England international
The Blues’ latest offer totalled £120m but was rebuffed with Forest holding out for a larger up front payment than the £106m City offered
Anderson is believed to be keen on a move to the Etihad and is viewed by City as an ideal midfield addition considering his age, ability, potential and profile
Manchester United have pulled out of the race to sign the 23-year-old with the Reds keen not to get drawn into a bidding war, leaving City as the only real suitors at that price
Anderson is away at the World Cup with England and that means the prospect of a deal being confirmed over the coming weeks is slim although City and Forest could still agree a fee and the terms of a transfer.
The Blues also have other midfield targets, with a keen interest in Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali, and could opt to move on from Anderson and pursue alternatives while they may add more than one midfielder this summer. Read the latest on Anderson here.
