Manchester City signs Elliot Anderson for British-record £116m

Manchester City has completed the signing of Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for a British-record fee of £116m. This acquisition pushes City’s total transfer spending to £824m over the past three years. The signing of the England midfielder follows a period of substantial investment by the club, which has seen them become prolific spenders in the transfer market. City has also recorded £443m in player sales during this timeframe, leading to a net spend of around £381m. The continued investment aligns with the club’s plans for a rebuild under new head coach Enzo Maresca.
