Multiple sources today have confirmed that the race to sign Elliot Anderson is heating up, with Manchester City reportedly submitting an official bid for the midfielder. The offer is being considered by Nottingham Forest, but it remains to be seen whether it will be enough to tempt them into letting an important player leave. Manchester City are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Chelsea are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. So far this season, Manchester City are steady at both ends (2.0 goals scored per game, 0.88 goals conceded per game). The role for Elliot Anderson would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Speculation continues to connect Manchester City with Ibrahim Mbaye, Eli Kroupi Jr and Enzo Fernandez while no fresh rumours surround Nottingham Forest. Looking for Manchester City transfer rumours?
