England boss Thomas Tuchel will hope to see his side improve hugely when they face Panama in their final World Cup group stage game on Saturday night.
The Three Lions were hugely impressive when beating Croatia 4-2 in their opening game of the competition, but laboured to a goalless draw against Ghana in their last outing.
Tuchel’s side remain top of Group I, but could be leapfrogged by Ghana if they fail to beat Panama in New York on Saturday.
Ahead of the game, however, it is emerging that one member of Tuchel’s squad could be set to complete a huge move to a Premier League giant this summer.
According to BBC Sport, Manchester City have agreed a deal worth around £116 million to sign midfielder Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest.
The report claims that City are insisting that the fee is £116 million – which would represent a club record signing for the Citizens – however other sources are claiming that the deal is actually worth a British-record £130 million.
The current British transfer record is the £125 million that Liverpool paid to sign forward Alexander Isak from Newcastle United last summer.
Anderson, 23, joined Forest from Newcastle United back in 2024 for a fee of around £35 million, and he has since made 68 appearances for the club across all competitions, scoring four goals.
The midfielder’s impressive displays at The City Ground earned him a senior international debut for England in September last year, and he was included in Tuchel’s squad for the World Cup in North America this summer.
The report suggests that Anderson will now undergo a medical with City, before completing a move to The Etihad and joining the Citizens ahead of the start of next season.
Anderson’s current contract with Forest isn’t set to expire until the summer of 2029, but it appears almost certain that he will now join Manchester City this summer.
