What happened: Manchester City's pursuit of Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson is in its final stages, according to Fabrizio Romano. The 23-year-old England international is expected to undergo a medical in the United States as the clubs move toward an agreement. A new round of talks is set to take place to finalize terms.

Why it matters: The move would resolve a long-running saga after Forest twice rejected City bids worth around £120m for Anderson. Landing a homegrown England international addresses City's midfield rebuild and strengthens their core for the 2026 season. For Forest, fresh off securing Premier League safety, it represents a major sale of one of their prized assets.

What to watch: Watch for the medical in the US to be completed and an official agreement between the clubs, which would confirm the fee and contract terms.
