Nottingham Forest reject monster Manchester City bid for Elliot Anderson

A massive transfer war is erupting over England international Elliot Anderson.

Nottingham Forest have officially rejected a substantial, multi-million opening bid from Manchester City for the exceptionally-talented 23-year-old midfielder.

City are currently viewed as the frontrunners, but Arsenal and Manchester United are monitoring the situation with intense focus.

Anderson’s market valuation is expected to completely eclipse the £100m mark, making him the hottest domestic property of the summer window.

Despite the heavy-hitting interest, sources close to the player indicate Anderson is heavily committed to his deep relationship with Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis and is fully focusing on England’s upcoming World Cup opener against Croatia on June 17.
