Overview
- Manchester United are preparing to accelerate efforts to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson ahead of the January window, with Ruben Amorim viewing him as a long-term fit, according to reports.
- Nottingham Forest are publicly intent on keeping Anderson but acknowledge a substantial offer could test their resolve, and the player has three years remaining on his contract.
- Manchester City and Chelsea have recently scouted the England midfielder, while Newcastle are monitoring the situation but face tighter spending limits, as Eddie Howe suggested.
- Forest’s valuation is widely reported at about £70m, though some outlets suggest the final asking price could be higher, and no formal bids have been confirmed.
- Anderson has become central to Forest and moved into England contention, with any mid-season move weighed against the need for regular minutes to support his international prospects.
