English journalist Craig Hope revealed that Manchester City is placing Nottingham Forest player Elliot Anderson as a primary target for signing in the upcoming period, in order to strengthen and reinforce its squad.

The source added that Manchester City's management and coach Pep Guardiola are highly impressed with the abilities of the 23-year-old player, seeing him as the perfect piece to occupy the midfield roles 6 and 8 thanks to his tactical flexibility and strength in progressing with the ball.

On the financial level, the deal is expected to range between 80 to 100 million pounds, given Newcastle's insistence on keeping their player and considering him one of the talents on which the team's project is built.

The young player is considered one of the most prominent players in the English Premier League and is attracting interest from many European clubs.
