Elliot Anderson has passed his medical examination in Kansas, moving closer to finalizing a transfer from Nottingham Forest to Manchester City.
The move represents a significant investment in the English midfielder and ensures his fitness status is verified before England's upcoming World Cup knockout match.
City and Nottingham Forest have reached an agreement for a transfer fee of £116 million [1]. The medical examination took place in the U.S. to accommodate the player's current schedule and location. This step is a standard requirement to confirm the player's health and physical condition before the final contracts are signed.
Anderson is a key asset for the English national team. The timing of the medical is critical as the squad prepares for the high-stakes environment of the World Cup knockout stages. By completing the tests now, Manchester City can finalize the administrative details of the deal while Anderson remains focused on international competition.
The midfielder's transition to City marks a major shift in the club's squad depth. The £116 million [1] price tag underscores the value City places on Anderson's ability to control the midfield and distribute the ball.
Once the final paperwork is processed, Anderson will officially join the squad. The club has not yet announced the specific date for his first training session or his official unveiling to the fans. The successful medical in Kansas removes the final physical hurdle in the acquisition process.
