Nottingham Forest is facing the potential departure of Elliot Anderson, rumored to join Manchester City for over £100 million. Anderson's exemplary performance led the league for key metrics in midfield. In light of this, Forest is considering Manu Kone of Roma, who has displayed similar skill sets and may be available at a reduced fee due to Roma's financial situation.
