Tuchel Hails Elliot Anderson as Elite as Transfer Race Heats Up

The England coach lauds the 23-year-old as elite, offering no World Cup guarantee.

Overview

  • Thomas Tuchel said Anderson is one of the Premier League’s best midfielders but stressed there are no promises over a 2026 World Cup spot.
  • Anderson has four senior caps and, per Thursday’s 2-0 win over Serbia, drew fresh praise for his all-round midfield display.
  • Manchester United’s interest is repeatedly reported, with outlets citing possible offers in the €100m (£88m) range and a wider valuation often put near £100–£120m.
  • Arsenal have been newly linked alongside Liverpool, Chelsea and others, though reports indicate Nottingham Forest do not plan to sanction a January exit.
  • Forest signed Anderson from Newcastle for about £35m in 2024, he is contracted until 2029, and Opta-cited data highlights his league-leading ball recoveries.
