Overview

• Football Insider reports a January valuation of about £70m, with sources indicating Newcastle would find a mid-season deal very hard to pull off.
• Manchester United are also tracking the midfielder, with reporting that they could pivot to him after Brighton rejected an approach for Carlos Baleba.
• Forest are expected to keep Anderson until at least the end of the season, raising the prospect of a more competitive pursuit in the summer.
• Since leaving Newcastle in 2024, Anderson has made 37 Premier League appearances for Forest, helped them qualify for Europe and earned an England debut under Thomas Tuchel.
• Analysis pieces contend £70m may be reasonable relative to the current midfield market even if a January transfer remains unlikely.
