Manchester City have confirmed an agreement with Nottingham Forest to sign midfielder Elliot Anderson for a record £116 million. The deal, which breaks City’s previous transfer record, comes as part of their effort to restructure the midfield following Bernardo Silva's departure. Reports indicate that Anderson will undergo a medical on Friday and is set to become the most expensive English footballer. City sources clarified that the transaction involves a one-time payment and does not include additional bonuses. Anderson, who has impressed with his technical skills and defensive capabilities, is expected to play a key role in City's midfield rejuvenation.
