Manchester City are ready to make England midfielder Elliot Anderson one of their top targets in 2026.
Mail Sport understands City’s top brass, including director of football Hugo Viana and manager Pep Guardiola, are big admirers of the 23-year-old - and their scouts have been in the stands at recent Nottingham Forest matches.
Forest will reject any advances in January but a sale ahead of next summer’s World Cup is possible, especially if offers approaching £100million land at the City Ground.
The word inside Premier League rivals is that it will take a fee in excess of £80m to sign him.
